Thyristors are a type of semiconductor device that combines two PN junction diodes in reverse order in one package. DIACs, SIDACs, as a part of Thyristor family, are 3-terminal devices. These devices act like bistable switches because they can switch in both directions, they are used in power control applications. As a group, DIACs and SIDACs are mainly used in zero-crossing detection and other stationary AC power control circuits. MKP3V240RL, a type of 3-terminal highly sensitive trigger Thyristor, is an advanced example of these devices.

The application of the MKP3V240RL can be mainly divided into two categories. Firstly, it is mainly used in the application of AC switches control, such as heater switch control. When the control signal is smaller than the breakover voltage of the device, the device can be triggered by the control signal, and the current flows through the device turn-on the switch. Secondly, it is mainly used in the application of gate drive signal source. This device integrates with two PN junction diodes, one of which is in forward direction and the other is in reverse direction, when the control signal is between the breakover voltage of PN junction diodes and the higher trigger voltage of the device, the device can trigger the switch according to the signal.

The working principle of MKP3V240RL is based on the alternating polarity of an AC signal. This signal has two different points, the zero crossing point and the peak voltage point. When the peak voltage is higher than the breakover voltage of the device, the gate will be triggered into conduction. And when the AC crosses the zero point, the peak voltage falls below breakover voltage but higher than the lower trigger voltage, the gate current will be cut off and the device will be switched off. Additionally, the lower trigger voltage is only one tenth of breakover voltage, it is suitable for supplying gate current and trigger the device.

In the aspect of performance, MKP3V240RL can offer lower breakover voltage, higher trigger voltage and higher breakdown voltage, as well as superior thermal resistance performance. Overall, MKP3V240RL, due to its lower breakover voltage, reduce the volume of the driver circuit and raise its efficiency. In all, it is an excellent choice of device for that, as it provides an effective and reliable current control.
