KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Epoxy packaged, oxide passivated planar
SCR chips with metallurgic bonds on both
sides to achieve high reliability. Internal
wire bond connection allows high current
surge capability for narrow pulse
applications.

Designed for high current
narrow-pulse switching
applications where size and current
handling capability are critical.
These devices may be triggered on
using low power logic drivers from
(+0.8 V at 200 µA).

(1) Mounted on 2” square by 0.06’ thick FR4 board with a 1” x 1” square 2 ounce copper pattern.
(2) Mounted on 0.06 thick FR4 board, using recommended footprint.
APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS
Microsemi Corp DN14 design
note
Nanosecond SCR switch for reliable
high current pulse generators,
modulators and photo-flash
quenching.
Several new applications for
nanosecond SCR switches include
automotive collision avoidance
systems, laser drivers, photo-flash
quenching circuits, specially
developed circuits for the emerging
digital imaging range finders and
communication markets.
