Gate turn-off thyristor — For other uses of the word, see GTO (disambiguation). GTO thyristor symbol A gate turn off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, a high power semiconductor device. GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches… … Wikipedia
IGCT — The Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) is a new high power semiconductor device. An IGCT is a sub family of the GTO thyristor and like the GTO thyristor is a fully controllable power switch. Device DescriptionAn IGCT is a special type of … Wikipedia
Insulated-gate bipolar transistor — The insulated gate bipolar transistor or IGBT is a three terminal power semiconductor device, noted for high efficiency and fast switching. It switches electric power in many modern appliances: electric cars, variable speed refrigerators, air… … Wikipedia
semiconductor device — ▪ electronics Introduction electronic circuit component made from a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (hence semiconductor). Such devices have found wide applications because of their compactness, reliability,… … Universalium
Thyristor — The thyristor is a solid state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P type material. They act as bistable switches, conducting when their gate receives a current pulse, and continue to conduct for as long as they are forward … Wikipedia
Crystal radio — Crystal set redirects here. For the Australian rock band, see The Crystal Set. A modern reproduction of an antique crystal set. It is tuned to different stations by moving the sliding contact (right) up and down the tuning coil (red). The device… … Wikipedia
Power semiconductor device — Power semiconductor devices are semiconductor devices used as switches or rectifiers in power electronic circuits (switch mode power supplies for example). They are also called power devices or when used in integrated circuits, called power… … Wikipedia
MOS composite static induction thyristor/CSMT — MOS composite static induction thyristor (CSMT or MCS) is a combination of a MOS transistor connected in cascode relation to the SI thyristor. The SI thyristor (SITh) unit has a gate to which a source of MOS transistor is connected through a… … Wikipedia
Townsend discharge — The Townsend discharge is a gas ionization process where an initially very small amount of free electrons, accelerated by a sufficiently strong electric field, give rise to electrical conduction through a gas by avalanche multiplication: when the … Wikipedia
Flyback diode — A flyback diode (sometimes called a snubber diode, freewheeling diode, suppressor diode, or catch diode [http://www.hp9825.com/html/internal printer.html] ) is a diode used to eliminate flyback, the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive… … Wikipedia
