DESCRIPTION
The ACS120 belongs to the AC line switch family
built around the ASD concept. This high performance switch circuit is able to control a load up to 2
A.
The ACS switch embeds a high voltage clamping structure to absorb the inductive turn off energy
and a gate level shifter driver to separate the digital
controller from the main switch. It is triggered with
a negative gate current flowing out of the gate pin.

AC LINE SWITCH BASIC APPLICATION
The ACS120 device is well adapted to Washing machine, dishwasher, tumble drier, refrigerator,
air-conditioning systems, and cookware. It has been designed especially to switch on & off low power loads
such as solenoid, valve, relay, dispenser, micro-motor, pump, fan and defrost heaters.
Pin COM: Common drive reference to connect to the power line neutral
Pin G: Switch Gate input to connect to the digital controller
Pin OUT: Switch Output to connect to the load
This ACS switch is triggered with a negative gate current flowing out of the gate pin G. It can be driven directly by the digital controller through a resistor as shown on the typical application diagram.
Thanks to its thermal and turn off commutation performances, the ACS120 switch is able to drive with no
turn off additional snubber an inductive load up to 2 A.
