Study Notes
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)
- A 4-layered, 3-terminal device used in electronic devices requiring control of high voltage and power.
- Mainly used in medium and high AC power operations, such as motor control functions.
Construction
- Consists of four layers of semiconductors forming two structures: NPNP or PNPN.
- Has three junctions: J1, J2, and J3, and three terminals: anode, cathode, and gate.
- Anode connects to the P-type, cathode to the N-type, and gate to the P-type (in case of PNPN).
Operation and Characteristics
- Conducts when a gate pulse is applied, similar to a diode.
- Modes of Operation:
- OFF state (Forward blocking mode): • Anode is positive, cathode is negative.
- (No information provided for other modes of operation)
