Light Activated SCR (LASCR) - Symbol, Construction and Operation: Light activated SCR is just an ordinary SCR except that it can also be light triggered. Most LASCRs also have a…
What is DIAC? - Symbol, Construction, Operation and Applications A diac is an important member of the thyristor family and is usually employed for triggering triacs. A diac is a…
SCR as Half Wave Rectifier Circuit Diagram: SCRs are very useful in ac circuits where they may serve as rectifiers whose output current can be controlled by controlling the gate…
What is Thyristor? - Thyristor Family and its Applications Thyristor is the general name given to a family of semiconductor devices having four layers with a control mechanism, although this…
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS): With active load switching, the current drain with a low output is approximately equal to ID(sat). This may cause a problem with battery operated equipment.…
Advantages and Disadvantages of JFET: Junction field-effect transistors combine several merits of both conventional (or bipolar) transistors and vacuum tubes. Some of these advantages and disadvantages of JFET are enumerated…
