Study Notes

LASCR Characteristics

  • LASCR conducts current in one direction when activated by a sufficient amount of light energy
  • The gate terminal of LASCR is most sensitive to light when it is open

Operating Conditions

  • An increase in junction temperature results in a reduction in trigger energy required to activate LASCR
  • An increase in junction temperature reduces the trigger energy required to activate LASCR

OR Circuit Operation

  • Light energy applied to LASCR 1 or LASCR 2 results in the supply voltage appearing across the load
  • Light energy applied to LASCR 1 or LASCR 2 turns on the load

LASCR Comparison

  • LASCR operates essentially as does the conventional SCR except that it can also be triggered by light

Trigger Mechanism

  • The input source turns on the lamp; the resulting incident light triggers the LASCR
