| | Description Of The Firing Mechanism For A Thyristor Controlled By A High Frequency Sine Signal
By Mauriac Christophe, Raingeaud Yves, Menard Samuel, Baillou Jean, Gonthier Laurent | |
|
Abstract: In the context of galvanic isolation integration, a new
control mode for thyristor has been developed. Instead of a pulse
shaped signal, a high frequency sine signal is used for thyristor
control. This new control signal enables to switch on the
thyristor through a charge accumulation phenomenon in the
structure. Experiments and simulations have been performed to
understand precisely the phenomenon and the mechanism
sequence leading to the device switching on.
