Thyristors

Superior immunity to noise and false triggering, reducing the need for extra protection components

Our comprehensive range of triacs and thyristors includes SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers), and three-quadrant (Hi-Com) and four-quadrant triacs. Among their many uses, they provide the interface between the control IC and AC loads found in home appliances.

Descriptive summary

The first choice in providing reliable control of any load is NXP's three-quadrant (Hi-Com) triacs. Their superior immunity to electrical noise and false triggering when controlling non-linear, inductive or capacitive loads reduces the need for additional protection components that are essential for standard four-quadrant triacs. Guaranteed voltage ratings extend to 1000 V to satisfy the demanding requirements of motor direction control. Gate currents also range from 5 mA for ease of driving, to 50 mA for the best immunity to false triggering.
