The AVS1ACP08 is a low-cost, space-saving solution for voltage switching and power conversion. The device is designed to fit into existing designs without the need for additional external components. It combines a triac-based auto-voltage switcher and Power Conversion technology to provide up to an 8 amps of current. It features over-current and over-voltage protection, adjustable hysteresis, and integrated autorestore and delay timer circuitry. The AVS1ACP08 allows applications to switch and regulate a low voltage (e.g. 3V to 15V) mono- or bi-directionally, without the need for additional bulky external components. It's a compact solution to fit into prototyping and low rate production solutions in industrial, automotive, communications and consumer applications.
