Etymologies
- Ancient Greek θύρα ("entrance") + resistor. (Wiktionary)
Examples
“T-Ram solves this chip real-estate issue by using what it calls a thyristor instead of a transistor.”
“Also, to Chrisbnp, thyristor shutoff depends on the device type.”
“I think my statement breaks down when I said that you would short the thyristor when, in fact, you would short the cds sensor connection which controls the scr.”
“It's easy to turn a four-layer p-n-p-n device on, but a true three-pin SCR AKA thyristor requires specific design for gate-controlled turn-off.”
“In most 'automatic'-mode strobes, the photoresistor controls a short-duration timer which drives a trigger circuit for the thyristor.”
“So a simple shorting of a 283's thyristor gate pin won't do it.”
“Unless I haven't thought it through enough, it should be as simple as a circuit that shorts the thyristor pins when the quench signal goes high.”
“Since the radio popper is using a quench pin to control flash duration I don't see why you couldn't modify a Vivitar 283 or in theory any thyristor flash to be controlled by it.”
“The use of thyristor based load controllers produces non-sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms.”
“Both sources should approve the specification; ask the alternator supplier to check suitability of the thyristor load of the ELC, the type of AVR, and so on.”
