Features
This current controlled Solidtron
TM
(CCS) discharge switch is an n-type
Thyristor in a high performance single chip module. The device gate is
similar to that found on a traditional GTO Thyristor.
The CCS features the high peak current capability and low On-state
voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with high di/dt
capability. This semiconductor is intended to be a solid state
replacement for spark or gas type devices commonly used in pulse
power applications.
This single chip package contains a ThinPak
TM
which is a perforated,
metalized ceramic substrate attached to the silicon using 302
o
C
solder. The ThinPak
TM
is attached to a metal baseplate using
60Pb40Sn eutectic solder. It's small size and low profile make it
extremely attractive for high di/dt applications where stray series
inductance must be kept to a minimum.
