  • Abstract
    This paper describes a general computer model for a high power SCR that gives an accurate simulation of all important static and dynamic performance characteristics including such two-dimensional effects a spreading, gate isolation, and latch-in. Computer simulated vs. measured static characteristics of a representative device are listed for comparison. A comparison of a computer simulated vs. measured turn on transient is also included.
