Thyristors, also known as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are semiconductor devices that conduct when their gate receives a current pulse. Despite their widespread use in power conversion, these devices are not complex in their operation and require little more than a basic knowledge of electronic circuit theory for an understanding of their functioning. The CS220-25P is a common two-terminal thyristor that is widely used in applications, such as motor control and power switching, due to its simple structure and the fact that it can control large amounts of power.

The CS220-25P is essentially a three-terminal semiconductor device with one gate and two anodes, referred to as the anode1 and the anode2. The gate is typically connected to a power supply that provides a DC voltage pulse, while anode1 and anode2 typically connect to the load being switched. The operation of the device is relatively simple; when the gate receives a sufficient DC voltage pulse, the device turns on and acts like a short circuit between anode1 and anode2, allowing the current to flow through the load.

The main advantage of the CS220-25P over other thyristors lies in its relatively low holding current, which allows it to turn on even when a relatively low gate voltage is applied. Additionally, the device can handle large currents; up to 25 A, which makes it suitable for loads such as motors, light dimmers, and DC-DC converters. Furthermore, the device has a low forward voltage drop, typically <1.2 V, making it suitable for applications that require high switching frequencies.

The CS220-25P also has some drawbacks that should be taken into consideration when designing with it. One such drawback is its relatively long turn-off time, which can reach up to 1000µs at 25 A. This is an issue as it can cause problems in applications that require high switching frequencies. Additionally, its relatively high storage temperature makes it unsuitable for high temperatures applications. Finally, it tends to have a relatively low efficiency at elevated temperatures, which should also be taken into consideration when designing applications.

Overall, the CS220-25P is a widely used two-terminal thyristor with a variety of applications. Its simple structure makes it suitable for applications such as motor control, power switching, and light dimming, and its low holding current and low forward voltage drop both contribute to its efficient operation. However, its relatively long turn-off time and low efficiency at elevated temperatures should be taken into consideration.
