DESCRIPTION PIN CONNECTION

The AVS12 kit is an automatic mains selector
(110/220V AC) to be used in SMPS < 500 W. It
is composed of 2 devices :
• The Controller is optimized for low consump-
tion and high security triggering of the triac.
When connected to VSS, the mode input acti- V 1 8 V
vates an additional option. If the main power
drops from 220V to 110V, the triac control re- Osc / In 2 7 Mode
mains locked to the 220V mode and avoids
any high voltage spike when the voltage
comes back to 220V. Osc / Out 3 6 N.C.
When connected to VDD, the mode input de-
sactivates this option. V 4 5 V
• The TRIAC is specially designed for this appli-
cation. An optimization between sensitivity and
dynamic parameters of the triac gate highly
reduces the losses of supply resistor and al-
lows excellent immunity against disturbances.
