How many terminals does an SCR have?
Three (Anode, Cathode, Gate)
Most basic triggering method
Forward Voltage Triggering
What happens to current when SCR is conducting?
Increases
These two types of time define the performance of a power semiconductor devices
Rise time and delay time

In Forward Blocking Mode, which junction is reverse-biased?
J2
This method involves heating the device.
Temperature triggering
The IGBT behaves like this type of transistor in its output characteristics.
BJT
Semi-controlled power semiconductor device
Thyristor
IGBTs are often used in this type of electronic converter.
Inverter
Name the three modes of SCR operation.
Forward blocking, Forward conduction, Reverse blocking
This method uses light to generate electron-hole pairs.
Light triggering (optical triggering)
Voltage at which SCR switch from OFF to ON state
Breakover Voltage
Semiconductor device that controls large current using small current
BJT
Explain how current flow in IGBT?
When the Gate (G) is turned ON, allowing current to flow from the Collector (C) to Emitter (E).
In what mode does the SCR conduct current?
Forward conduction mode
This method can cause unintentional triggering due to rapid voltage change
dv/dt triggering
Minimum current needed to keep the SCR ON.
Latching current
What is delay time during switching in IGBT?
Time it takes for the gate voltage to reach threshold value
