Description
The MCT is an MOS Controlled Thyristor designed for switch-
ing currents on and off by negative and positive pulsed control
of an insulated MOS gate. It is designed for use in motor con-
trols, inverters, line switches and other power switching appli-
cations. The MCT is especially suited for resonant (zero
voltage or zero current switching) applications. The SCR like
forward drop greatly reduces conduction power loss.
Symbol
MCTs allow the control of high power circuits with very small
amounts of input energy. They feature the high peak current
capability common to SCR type thyristors, and operate at
junction temperatures up to +150oC with active switching.
This device features a discrete anti-parallel diode that shunts
current around the MCT in the reverse direction without
introducing carriers into the depletion region.
