The Diac is basically a two-terminal device. Here we will discuss the symbol, construction, VI characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and applications of Diac. It is such… Read More »Diac Symbol, Construction, VI Characteristics and Applications
The SCR has only two states of operation i.e. it can be either fully ON or completely OFF hence SCR can as a switch. There is no “active” region of operation like a transistor.
The VI characteristics of SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) is a graph of anode current Ia on the y-axis and anode to cathode voltage on the x-axis… Read More »VI Characteristics of SCR – Silicon Controlled Rectifier
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is one of the oldest four-layer solid-state power device it was invented in 1957. SCR has the highest power handling capacity in comparison with other semiconductor devices. It has three terminals namely anode, cathode, and gate
