Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a major expansion for Destiny 2, a first-person shooter video game by Bungie.Representing the eighth expansion and the seventh year of extended content for Destiny 2 and 10th year of content for the Destiny franchise, it was released on June 4, 2024, after being delayed from its original February 2024 date.
In 1989, IXYS provided power MOSFETs for the General Motors EV1. [3] IXYS provided high-power IGBTs for the KTX-II high-speed train. [4] In 2001, the company acquired the British semiconductor manufacturer Westcode. [5] In December 2009, IXYS Corporation announced that it will buy Zilog, which is now the company's wholly owned subsidiary. [6] [7]
It is related to the gate turn-off (GTO) thyristor. It was jointly developed by Mitsubishi and ABB. [1] Like the GTO thyristor, the IGCT is a fully controllable power switch, meaning that it can be turned both on and off by its control terminal (the gate). Gate drive electronics are integrated with the thyristor device. [2]
A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...
A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, which is a high-power (e.g. 1200 V AC) semiconductor device. It was invented by General Electric . [ 1 ] GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches which can be turned on and off by their gate lead.
The thyristor power controller switches 60% of the solid waves to the load while blocking 40%. The operating mode is to be regarded as unproblematic. Only in the case of a too weakly designed network, it is possible for illuminating installations which are connected to the same network to have undesired luminance fluctuations (flicker effect).
