Application information

Typical application descriptions

The ACST1635-8FP device can be used to control medium power load, such as AC motors

in home appliances. Thanks to its thermal and turn off commutation performances, the

ACST1635-8FP switch is able to drive an inductive load up to 16 A with no turn off additional

snubber. It also provides high thermal performances in static and transient modes such as

the compressor inrush current or high torque operating conditions of an AC motor.
