Notes on ratings and characteristics.
1. Maximum Ratings.
1.1 Off-state voltage ratings. Unless otherwise indicated, all off-state voltage ratings are given for gate conditions as diagram 1. For other gate conditions see the curves of figure 5. It should be noted that V
is the repeatable peak
DRM
voltage which may be applied to the device and does not relate to a DC operating condition. While not
given in the ratings, V
should ideally be limited to 55% V
DC
in this product.

1.2 Reverse voltage rating. All devices in this series have a minimum V
of 18 Volts.

1.3 Peak turn-off current. The figure given in maximum ratings is the highest value for normal operation of the device under conditions given in note 2 of ratings. For other combinations of I
, VD and Cs see the curves in figures
TGQ
15 & 16. The curves are effective over the normal operating range of the device and assume a snubber
circuit equivalent to that given in diagram 2. If a more complex snubber, such as an Underland circuit, is
employed then the equivalent C
should be used and Ls<0.3µH must be ensured for the curves to be

1.6 Snubber loop inductance. Use of GTO thyristors with snubber loop inductance, L
<0.3µH implies no dangerous Vs voltages (see
s
diagrams 2 & 3) can be applied, provided the other conditions given in note 1.3 are enforced. Alternatively
should be limited to 800 Volts to avoid possible device failure.

1.7 Critical rate of rise of on-state current The value given is the maximum repetitive rating, but does not imply any specific operating condition. The high turn-on losses associated with limit di/dt would not allow for practical duty cycle at this maximum condition. For special pulse applications, such as crowbars and pulse power supplies, a much higher di/dt is possible. Where the device is required to operate with infrequent high current pulses, with natural commutation (i.e. not gate turn-off), then di/dt>5kA/µs is possible. For this type of operation individual specific evaluation is required.

1.9 Minimum permissible off time. This time relates specifically to re-firing of device (see also note on gate-off time 2.7). The value given in the ratings applies only to operating conditions of ratings note 2.
1.10 Minimum permissible on-time. Figure is given for minimum time to allow complete conduction of all the GTO thyristor islands. W here a simple snubber, of the form given in diagram 1. (or any other non-energy recovery type which discharges through the GTO at turn-on) the actual minimum on-time will usually be fixed by the snubber circuit time constant, which must be allowed to fully discharge before the GTO thyristor is turned off. If the anode circuit has di/dt<10A/µs then the minimum on-time should be increased, the actual value will depend upon the di/dt and operating conditions (each case needs to be assessed on an individual basis).

2.2 Latching and holding current These are considered to be approximately equal and only the latching current is measured, type test only as outlined below. The test circuit and wave diagrams are given in diagram 4. The anode current is monitored on an oscilloscope while V period between the end of I

2.3 Critical dv/dt The gate conditions are the same as for 1.1, this characteristic is for off-state only and does not relate to dv/dt at turn-off. The measurement, type test only, is conducted using the exponential ramp method as shown in diagram 5. It should be noted that GTO thyristors have a poor static dv/dt capability if the gate is open circuit or R
is high impedance. Typical values: - dv/dt<100V/µs for RGK>10Ω.

2.5 Gate trigger characteristics. These are measured by slowly ramping up the gate current and monitoring the transition of anode current and voltage (see diagram 7). Maximum and typical data of gate trigger current, for the full junction temperature range, is given in the curves of figure 6. Only typical figures are given for gate trigger voltage, however, the curves of figure 3 give the range of gate forward characteristics, for the full allowable junction temperature range. The curves of figures 3 & 6 should be used in conjunction, when considering forward gate drive circuit requirement. The gate drive requirements should always be calculated for lowest junction temperature start-up condition.

discharges through DUT and commutates Tx off, as pulse from Cc/Lc decays the constant current source

In addition to the turn-on time figures given in the characteristics data, the curves of figure 9 give the
relationship of t
to di/dt and IGM. The data in the curves of figures 7 & 8, gives the turn-on losses both with
gt
and without snubber discharge, a snubber of the form given in diagram 2 is assumed. Only typical losses
are given due to the large number of variables which effect E
. It is unlikely that all negative aspects
on
would appear in any one application, so typical figures can be considered as worst case. Where the turnon loss is higher than the figure given it will in most cases be compensated by reduced turn-off losses, as
variations in processing inversely effect many parameters. For a worst case device, which would also
have the lowest turn-off losses, E
would be 1.5x values given in the curves of figures 7 & 8. Turn-on
on
losses are measured over the integral period specified below:-

The turn-on loss can be sub-divided into two component parts, firstly that associated with t
the contribution of the voltage tail. For this series of devices t
contributes 40% and the voltage tail 60%

(These figures are approximate and are influenced by several second order effects). The loss during t

GM
The turn-on loss associated with the voltage tail is not effected by the gate conditions and can only be
reduced by limiting di/dt, where appropriate a turn-on snubber should be used. In applications where the
snubber is discharged through the GTO thyristor at turn-on, selection of discharge resistor will effect E
on
The curves of figure 8 are given for a snubber as shown in diagram 2, with R=5Ω, this is the lowest
recommended value giving the highest E
, higher values will reduce Eon.

2.7 Turn-off characteristics The basic circuit used for the turn-off test is given in diagram 10. Prior to the negative gate pulse being applied constant current, equivalent to I
, is established in the DUT. The switch Sx is opened just before

In addition to the turn-off figures given in characteristic data, the curves of figures 10, 11 & 12 give the
relationship of I
GQ QGQ
and tgq to turn-off current (I
) and diGQ/dt. Only typical values of IGQ are given due
TGQ
to a great dependence upon the gate circuit impedance, which is a function of gate drive design not the
device. The t
is also, to a lesser extent, affected by circuit impedance and as such the maximum figures
gq
given in data assume a good low impedance circuit design. The curves of figures 17 & 18 give the tail time
and minimum off time to re-fire device as a function of turn-off current. The minimum off time to re-fire the
device is distinct from t
, the gate off time given in characteristics. The GTO thyristor may be safely re-
gw
triggered when a small amount of tail current is still flowing. In contrast, the gate circuit must remain low
impedance until the tail current has fallen to zero or below a level which the higher impedance V
circuit
GR
can sink without being pulled down below –2 Volts. If the gate circuit is to be switched to a higher
impedance before the tail current has reached zero then the requirements of diagram 12 must be applied.

The figure t
, as given in the characteristic data, is the maximum time required for the tail current to

decay to zero. The figure is applicable under all normal operating conditions for the device; provided
suitable gate drive is employed. At lower turn-off current, or with special gate drive considerations, this
time may be reduced (each case needs to be considered individually).Typical turn-off losses are given in
the curves of figures 13 & 14, the integration period for the losses is nominally taken to the end of the tail

2.8 Safe turn-off periphery The necessity to control dv/dt at tun-off for the GTO thyristor implies a trade-off between I
TGQ/VDM/Cs
. This
information is given in the curves of figures 15 & 16. The information in these curves should be
considered as maximum limits and not implied operating conditions, some margin of 'safety' is advised
with the conditions of the curves reserved for occasional excursions. It should be noted that these curves
are derived at maximum junction temperature, however, they may be applied across the full operating
temperature range of the device provided additional precautions are taken. At very low temperature,
(below –10°C) the fall-time of device becomes very rapid and can give rise to very high turn-off voltage
spikes, as such it is advisable to reduce snubber loop inductance to <0.2µH to minimise this effect.
