b ■ Needs no external overvoltage protection.
- O ■ Enables the equipment to meet IEC61000-4-5
) standard.
t(s ■ Allows straightforward connection of several
SOT-223 devices on the same cooling pad.
uc ■ Reduces the switch component count by up to
d 80%.
ro ■ Interfaces directly with the microcontroller.
P ■ Eliminates any stressing gate kick back on the
microcontroller.

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.
