Question

The SITH (Static Induction Thyristor) is a

(a) 4 terminal, self-controlled device

(b) 3 terminal, self-controlled device

(c) 4 terminal, un-controllable device

(d) 3 terminal, un-controllable device

I have been asked this question during an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Other Thyristor Members-2 in division Power Electronics Devices of Power Electronics

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) 3 terminal, self-controlled device

For explanation I would say: It is just like a GTO but it is p-n-n device.
