my concept on electronic devices
this thread is for to explain electronic devices
this is actually idea of akd,this is introduction lets start it
there are 3 types of devices
1.controlled devices
2.half controlled devices
3.uncontrolled devices
lets know about uncontrolled devices
uncontrolled devices: these devices are called as uncontrolled because they can be only start by switching on
this can be known with the examples like diodes etc...,
now time for half controlled devices
half controlled devices: these are called as half controlled because we have all the controls on on characterstics but not off the main examples are scr's,igbt's etc...,
now coming to controlled devices
controlled devices: these are devices which are controlled totally in on and off
the examples are power bjt's and power mosfet's
in my view all the electronic devices works with uncontrolled devices and all passive and active components
these half controlled devices are used in solar components and inverters
this is basic concept on these types i am interested in half controlled devices mainly scr
scr:scr is silicon controlled rectifier
this is 4 layered device the symbol is shown below
scr is having three main parts
1.gate
2.anode
3.cathode
as all know cathode and anode and there properties i am discussing about gate
gate is one of main part in scr
when we give all the voltage to scr to overcome junction2 it will be more danger to scr
so we give gate current
now coming to mode of operations
there are three states in operation mode
1.on state
2.forward blocking state and
3.reverse blocking state
on state is always clear because the name indicates that it is in on state
coming to forward blocking state
this state is the depletion layer resistance state
to overcome this state we use gate current and giving voltage to the anode and cathode
then on reverse blocking state is reversing the signs in anode and cathode panels
there is many interesting topics on scr but i am stoping here
if any more doubts or for any more concepts in this topic leave a post in electrical and electronic section i will update it
@akd: this is my personal thanks for you akd for motivating me
@CEans: if there any mistakes in my concept please help me to know because i am in the bottom of this education i need to improve a lot because i am not a professional in electronics concepts
and this post is for giving a basic concept i had in this topic
