Record 2 1981-08-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radioelectricity
  • Telecommunications
OBS

The GTO [gate turn-off switch] achieves a low on-state drop at high currents because, like the thyristor and ASCR, it is a double-injection device.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioélectricité
  • Télécommunications
OBS

Le GTO étant, comme le thyristor et l'ASCR, un dispositif à double injection, la chute de tension à l'état d'amorçage est faible aux courants élevés.
