Single Phase Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) or Thyristor is a four-layer, three-terminal semiconductor device. It consists of three PN junctions and two regions of opposite conductivity: the main terminal (anode or cathode) and the gate. Thhe SCR is used in many electronic applications as a switching device, and in the form of current-limiting or voltage-regulating rectifier circuits. This article looks at the application field and working principle of SCR (S4G and R7G).

S4G and R7G belong to a special family of SCR called fast-recovery devices. They have a much lower trigger current and enable very short switching times compared to other types of SCRs. S4G and R7G devices are ideal for medium and high frequency switching applications. Examples include the following:

• Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS);
• Inverters;
• Switched Mode Rectifiers (SMRs);
• AC Chopping;
• Motor Control;
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS);
• DC Drives;
• HVAC; and
• Arc Welding.

S4G and R7G SCRs have the same three leads: the anode, cathode and gate. The anode is the positive terminal and the cathode is the negative terminal. The gate is the control lead and is used to control the flow of current through the SCR. By controlling the gate voltage, the current through the device can be controlled. When a small current is applied to the gate, the SCR turns on, allowing a current to flow through the device and between the anode and cathode terminals. If the gate current is removed, the SCR will become non-conducting again.

S4G and R7G SCRs have very fast transfer times, with a switching time of less than 35 nanoseconds. They also have low trigger current, meaning that they can be turned on and off with a relatively small current or voltage. As a result, they are ideally suited for applications where high frequency and fast transfer times are required. For example, they are widely used in high frequency switching applications such as smps and inverters, as well as motor control and arc welding applications.

S4G and R7G SCRs are also used in more low frequency applications, such as ac chopping and dc drives. In these applications, the switching frequency may be too slow for regular SCRs to be used. However, the fast transfer time of S4G and R7G SCRs allows them to switch quickly and accurately.

The working principle of S4G and R7G SCRs is similar to that of regular SCRs. When a positive voltage is applied to the gate, it creates an electric field across the two layers of the device, which causes the electrons to move from the gate lead to the cathode lead. This in turn causes the SCR to turn on, allowing a current to flow. When the gate voltage is removed, the electrons move back to the gate, causing the SCR to become non-conducting again.

In summary, S4G and R7G SCRs are a type of fast-recovery devices, offering much lower trigger current and shorter switching times compared to regular SCRs. They are ideal for high-frequency and fast transfer applications, such as switching mode power supplies and inverters. They can also be used in low-frequency applications where regular SCRs are to slow, such as ac chopping and dc drives.
