Description
The ACST310-8B belongs to the ACS™/ ACST power switch family built with A.S.D.® (application specific discrete) technology. This high performance device is suited to home appliances or industrial systems and drives loads up to 3 A. This ACST310-8B switch embeds a Triac structure and a high voltage clamping device able to absorb the inductive turn-off energy and withstand line transients such as those described in the IEC 61000-4-5 standard.The component needs a low gate current to be activated (IGT max. 10 mA) and still shows a high electrical noise immunity complying with IEC standards such as IEC 61000-4-4 (fast transient burst test).

Features
■ AC switch with self over voltage protection
■ Microcontroller direct driven (low gate current max. 10 mA)
■ Three quadrants (Q1, Q2 and Q3)
■ UL94-V0 qualified resin (flammability)
■ ECOPACK®2 compliant component Benefits
■ Enables equipment to meet IEC61000-4-5
■ High immunity against fast transients described in IEC61000-4-4 standard
■ Needs no external overvoltage protection
■ High off-state reliability power device
■ Interfaces directly with the microcontroller
■ Reduces component count

Applications
■ AC static switching in appliances and industrial control systems
■ Driving low power highly inductive loads or resistive AC loads, such as motor control circuits, small home appliances, lighting, fan speed controllers, water valves, pumps, solid state relays, vacuum cleaners, heaters
