This current controlled Solidtron TM (CCS) discharge switch is an
n-type Thyristor in a high performance ThinPak TM package. The
device gate is similar to that found on a traditional GTO Thyristor.
The CCS features the high peak current capability and low On-
state voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with high
di/dt capability. This semiconductor is intended to be a solid
state replcement for spark or gas type devices commonly used in
pulse power applications.
The ThinPak TM Package is a perforated, metalized ceramic
substrate attached to the silicon using 302 o C solder. It's small
size and low profile make it extremely attractive for high di/dt
applications where stray series inductance must be kept to a
minimum.
