P2304UCMCTP

P2304UCMCTP application field and working principle

P2304UCMCTP is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) product offering on-state characteristics with fast turn-on capabilities and low leakage current. The applications for P2304UCMCTP are focused on rectification and fast switching applications (and sometimes surge protection) where the end application requires efficient and smooth conversion of electrical current.

The P2304UCMCTP is a 4-pin low-profile (6mm x 5.5mm) dual SCR product offering fast turn-on characteristics along with low-leakage current in the off-state. This makes the P2304UCMCTP a suitable product for a wide range of applications, from rectification, to high frequency switching, to start-up and surge protection.

The P2304UCMCTP is designed to be an integrated device, with two SCRs operating as a single device, which allows customers to have only one device per application. The main features of the P2304UCMCTP are its fast switching speed and its rated blocking voltage and current ratings of 200V (up to 3.3A). The turn-on time is only 5ns, which is an industry best for this size device.

The working principle of P2304UCMCTP is based on the principle of a thyristor, which is a solid state four-layer device, composed of three P-type and one N-type semiconductor layer that act as an integrated switch. When a DC voltage is applied to the anode (positive terminal) and cathode (negative terminal), a controlling gate current is applied to the gate electrode which turns the state of the switch to "on", allowing current to flow through the device. When a reverse voltage is applied, the device automatically switches off when the current flow drops to zero, thus their ability to control the current without the need for an external switching circuit.

The P2304UCMCTP is designed for use in a variety of applications, such as rectification, fast switching, and surge protection. The device is rated for blocking voltage up to 200V (up to 3.3A), and it maintains low leakage current in the off-state. The fast switch on time of 5ns, and robust design, make the P2304UCMCTP suitable for a wide range of applications.
