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]
SCR 4-layer (p-n-p-n) diagram. A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid-state current-controlling device.The name "silicon controlled rectifier" is General Electric's trade name for a type of thyristor.
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 ...
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]
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).
