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. It should be noted that VDRM is the
repeatable peak voltage, which may be applied to the device and does not relate to a DC operating condition.
Diagram 1.
1.2 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. A snubber circuit equivalent to that given in diagram 2 is assumed. If a more complex snubber, such as an Underland
circuit, is employed then the equivalent CS should be used and Ls<0.2µH must be ensured.

Diagram 2.
1.3 R.M.S and average current.
Measured as for standard thyristor conditions, double side cooled, single phase, 50Hz, 180° half-sinewave. These are included as a
guide to compare the alternative types of GTO thyristors available; values cannot be applied to practical applications, as they do not
include switching losses.
2
1.4 Surge rating and I t.
Ratings are for half-sinewave, peak value against duration is given in the curve of figure 2.
1.5 Snubber loop inductance.
Use of GTO thyristors with snubber loop inductance, Ls<0.2µH implies no dangerous Vs voltages (see diagrams 2 & 3) can be
applied, provided the other conditions given in note 1.2 are enforced. Alternatively Vs should be limited to 800 Volts to avoid possible
device failure.
1.6 Gate ratings
The absolute conditions above which the gate may be damaged. It is permitted to allow VGK(AV) during turn-off to exceed VRGM which
is the implied DC condition.

2 Characteristics
2.1 Instantaneous on-state voltage
Measured using a 500µs square pulse, see also the curves of figure 1 for other values of ITM.
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 VD is increased,
until the current is seen to flow during the un-gated period between the end of IG and the application of reverse gate voltage. Test
frequency is 100Hz with IGM & IG as for td of characteristic data.

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 RGK is high impedance. Typical values: - dv/dt<100V/µs for
RGK>10Ω.
Diagram 5, Definition of dV/dt.
2.4 Off-state leakage.
For IDRM see notes 1.1. For gate leakage IGK, the off-state gate circuit is required to sink this leakage and still maintain minimum of –
2 Volts. See diagram 6.
Diagram 6.
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 4. Only
typical figures are given for gate trigger voltage for the full allowable junction temperature range. Figures 4 should be used in when
considering forward gate drive circuit requirement. The gate drive requirements should always be calculated for lowest junction
temperature start-up condition.
