NPN transistors are key components in electronics, used as switches or amplifiers with three legs: base, collector, and emitter. Thyristors are semiconductor switches with three legs: gate, anode ...

Thyristors are a semiconductor device with an S-shaped current-voltage characteristic. They are a kind of managed keys with a state memory that are turned on when a control signal is applied to the ...
