IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation, announced the availability of the CPC1964B, an AC Solid State Switch utilizing dual power SCR outputs.

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

SCRs are the switching devices for this unusual DC to DC converter that is suited for the ubiquitous 5V USB power source as well as numerous other applications. This novel power circuit topology uses ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in the ...

In a typical ac-dc power supply, diode bridges do not control inrush current due to the output capacitor sudden charge at line plug-in. A high inrush current can cause several issues for the system ...
