Asymmetrical Thyristor: A Rising Star in Electronic Engineering
An Asymmetric Thyristor, also known as an asymmetric Thyristor, is a semiconductor device with a unique structure. It consists of two transistors, one of which is different in size and doping concentration. This asymmetrical design allows the Thyristor to exhibit different resistance values in the on- and off-states, allowing for more efficient current control.
A Thyristor typically consists of two transistors (bipolar transistors) with three terminals: an anode (A), a cathode (K), and a gate (G). When a voltage is added between the cathode and anode, the Thyristor is in the off state, where both transistors are off. If the Thyristor is to be turned on, an appropriate voltage needs to be applied between the gate and the cathode. This voltage will trigger one of the transistors (usually the one with a higher doping concentration) to turn it on. Once this transistor is turned on, it will generate a current that will trigger another transistor to turn on, causing the entire Thyristor to go on. In the ON state, current will flow through the Thyristor from the anode to the cathode. In this case, due to the asymmetrical design, the current will be unevenly distributed between the two transistors so that one of the transistors will carry more current. This asymmetry in the current distribution helps to control the current effectively. To turn off the Thyristor, apply a reverse voltage between the gate and cathode so that one of the transistors is shut off. Once this transistor is shut off, the other transistor will also lose the trigger current, shutting down the entire Thyristor.
Features and benefits of Asymmetric Thyristor
Asymmetric Thyristor is a semiconductor component with unique properties, the key feature of which is the asymmetrical structural design.
