Thyristor TRIZ Cases
- IGCT Gate Unit With Nonlinear Inductor for Low-Loss Switching
A nonlinear saturable inductor and voltage selector combine turn-on, retrigger, and backporch functions to cut IGCT gate-unit loss, size, and cost.
- Triac-Diode Thyristor Gate Control for Low-Leakage Triggering
A triac and series diode enable first-quadrant thyristor triggering with lower leakage current and no isolated power source.
- Vertical Diode-Triggered SCR Layout for Low-Capacitance ESD
Series vertical diodes and SiGe SCR regions enable earlier ESD triggering with lower capacitance and less RF degradation in integrated circuits.
- 3DIC Die-to-Die ESD Layout Using a Combo SCR Structure
A laterally spaced combo SCR gives 3DIC die-to-die interfaces a compact ESD discharge path that saves penalty area and avoids power bus taps.
