THYRISTORS

The thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They act as a switch, conducting when their gate receives a current pulse, and continue to conduct for as

synonymous; others define SCRs as a subset of thyristors, along with gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), triode ac switch (triac), static induction transistor

(SIT), static induction thyristor (SITH) and MOS-controlled thyristor И

(MCT). Among the latter, the International Electrotechnical Commission 60747-6 standard stands out.

Non-SCR thyristors include devices with more than four layers, such as triacs and DB-GTOs.

Function

31

The thyristor is a four-layer semiconducting device, with each layer consisting of alternately N-type or P-type material, for example P-N-P-N. The main terminals, labeled anode and cathode, are across the full four layers, and the control terminal, called the gate, is attached to p-type material near to the cathode. (A variant called a SCS Silicon Controlled Switch

Сbrings all four layers out to terminals.) The operation of a thyristor can be

understood in terms of a pair of tightly coupled Bipolar Junction Transistors, arranged to cause the self-latching action.

Thyristors have three states:

conduction;и

Reverse blocking mode - Voltage is applied in the direction that would be blocked by a diode;

Forward blocking mode - Voltage is applied in the direction that would cause a diode to conduct, but the thyristor has not yet been triggered into

Forward conducting mode - The thyristor has been triggered into conduction and will remain conducting until the forward current drops below a threshold value known as the "holding current".

Function of the gate terminal

ode with no voltage applied at the gate, junctionsИJ1 and J3 are forward biased, while junction J2 is reverse biased. As J2 is reverse biased, no conduction takes place (Off state). Now if Vak is increased beyond the breakdown voltage VBO of the thyristor, avalanche breakdown of J2 takes place and the thyristor starts conducting (On state).

If a positive potential VG is applied at the gate terminal with respect to the cathode, the breakdown of the junction J2 occurs at a lower value of Vak. By selecting an appropriate value of VG, the thyristor can be switched into the on state immediately.

32

It should be noted that once avalanche breakdown has occurred, the thyristor continues to conduct, irrespective of the gate voltage, until either:

(a) the potential VG is removed or (b) the current through the device (anode−cathode) is less than the holding current specified by the manufacturer. Hence VG can be a voltage pulse, such as the voltage output from a

unjunction transistor (UJT) relaxation oscillator.

These gate pulses are characterized in terms of gate trigger voltage (VGT) and gate trigger current (IGT). Gate trigger current varies inversely with gate pulse width in such a way that it is evident that there is a minimum gate charge required to trigger the thyristor.

1. Low power TRIACs are used in many applications such as light dimmers, speed controls for electric fans and other electric motors.

2. However, when used with inductive loads such as electric fans, care must be taken to assure that the TRIAC will turn off correctly at the end of each half-cycle of the ac power.

С3. The GTO can be turned-on by a gate signal, and can also be turned-off by a gate signal of negative polarity.

4. The turnoff time Tq represents the carrier recovery time: it is the time interval between the instant the anode current has decreased to 0 and the instantиwhen the thyristor is capable of withstanding positive voltage Vak without turning on again.

5. You must use a stiff integrator algorithm to simulate circuits containing thyristors.

6. When theбАoutput voltage of the supply rises above the zener voltage, the thyristor conducts, shorting the power supply output to ground.

7. The stabilized high voltage DC supply for the receiver was obtained by moving the switching point of the thyristor device up and down the falling slope of the positive going half of the AC supply input.

8. The precise switching point was determined by the load on the output DC supply as well fluctuations on the input AC supply.

9. Because thyristors can be triggered on by a high rate of rise of off-state voltage, in many applications this is prevented by connecting a resistorcapacitor (RC) snubber circuit between the anode and cathode terminals in order to limit the dV/dt (i.e., rate of change of voltage versus time).

In a conventional thyristor, once it has been switched on by the gate terminal, the device remains latched in the on-state (i.e. does not need a

continuous supply of gate current to conduct), providing the anode current has exceeded the latching current (IL). As long as the anode remains posi-ДИ
