GA201A

The microsemi nanosecond thyristor switch combines the turn on speed of logic level transistors with the high current switching capability inherent in SCRs. With this device engineers can how design circuits capable of switching pulse currents of 1A in less than 10ns or up to 30A in less than 20ns. The GA201 series is specifically designed for use as switching element in high speed laser diode pulse drivers. Other applications include electronic crowbars harmonic wave-form generators,line drivers and general Purpose replacements for avalanche transistors. For applications requiring higher voltage levels,Micrisemi has developed several series string circuits which allow the series connection of an unlimited number of devices for voltages as high as 2000V with no significant decrease in speed.
