ACST8 Datasheet - STMicroelectronics

DESCRIPTION
The ACST8-8C belongs to the AC power switch family built around the ASDTM technology. This high performance device is adapted to home appliances or industrial systems and drives an induction motor up to 8A.

FEATURES
■ VDRM /VRRM = +/- 800V
■ Avalanche controlled device
■ IT(RMS) = 8A with TCASE = 90 °C
■ High noise immunity: static dV/dt > 750 V/µs
■ Gate triggering current : IGT < 30 mA
■ Snubberless turn off commutation: (dI/dt)c > 4.5A/ms

MAIN APPLICATIONS
■ AC static switching in appliance & industrial control systems
■ Washing machine with bi-rotational induction motor drive
■ Induction motor drive for:
