Talk about the two terms thyristor and thyristor

At the beginning, let's talk about SCR first. SCR can be divided into one-way SCR and two-way SCR. The unidirectional thyristor has three pins: anode A, cathode middle and control pole G. The bidirectional thyristor has three pins: a first anode A1 (T1), a second anode A2 (T2), and a control electrode G. What is a thyristor? Since the advent of the 1950s, thyristors have developed into a large family. Its main members include unidirectional thyristors, bidirectional thyristors, light-controlled...

How bipolar transistors work

The basic working principle of BJT is reflected in the interaction between the emitter junction (J1) and the collector junction (J2). When the base of the BJT is suspended or shorted to the emitter junction, the voltage between the collectors is positively biased, that is, when UCE>0, the collector junction (J2) is in a reverse bias state, and the external bias voltage is applied. Without the supply of electrons, the entire BJT is not conducting and is in a positive blocking state. At this...
