TVS -Thyristor

Thyristors are a type of semiconductor devices that are used mainly in power control applications, such as automotive applications. They are primarily used in AC power control. TVS-Thyristors are unidirectional semiconductor devices, such as rectifiers and diodes. They switch on automatically when the anode voltage reaches a certain forward tolerance.

TPA120 is a type of thyristor with a two-pin AC input voltage ranging from 70V to 2170V. It features high surge capability and provides comparably low static losses. The parts are available in different voltage ratings and can be used to build AC/DC, DC/AC, and AC/AC converters.

TPA120 offers excellent Zero Crossing turn-on, allowing minimal inrush current and reduces the heat generated. In addition, the SCR has a very good frequency response when the load is varied. The ratings of the part can endure both moderate and harsh temperature and humidity.

TPA120 can operate in a wide range of applications. They can be used for motor control, AC/DC converters, battery chargers, AC voltage regulators, and AC/DC switching. It is also used to control the power flow in high-voltage power supplies, high-frequency switching, and electrical power generation systems.

TPA120 working principle is based on the principle of a thyristor. It works using the Wheatstone bridge principle which is a type of switch. When the anode voltage reaches a certain forward bias, the device is triggered and the circuit is closed. The current flows through the thyristor, and it stays in the closed or ‘on’ state until the current is switched off. The thyristor also has a reverse bias protection diode that prevents current from flowing in the opposite direction.

It is important to choose the right model of TPA120 for the application. This depends on the application voltage, current, and operating temperature. It is also important to consider the operating conditions such as frequency, mounting type, and insulation. Each application may require unique characteristics and features of the device.

In conclusion, TPA120 is a type of thyristor that is used mainly for power control applications. It has a two-pin AC input voltage rating, high surge capability, and comparably low static losses. It can be used for motor control, AC voltage regulators, AC/DC converters, and AC/DC switching. It works using the Wheatstone Bridge principle, and provides forward and reverse bias protection. Care must be taken to select the right model of TPA120 for the application based on the required characteristics and features.
