    Study Notes

    Thyristor Equivalents and Characteristics

    • The equivalent of TRIAC is a bilateral switch, which can conduct current in both directions.

    UJT Components

    • The ratio of RB1 to RBB in a Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is called the intrinsic standoff ratio.

    Thyristor Structure

    • Thyristors have four PN junctions, which are crucial for their operation.

    Thyristor Operation

    • The minimum value of anode current below which it must fall to completely turn off the thyristor is called the holding current.

    Thyristor Voltage Characteristics

    • The forward breakover voltage is the voltage at which the thyristor begins to conduct when the gate is triggered.
