SMCT TA20N20A10 Advanced Pulse Power Device N-MOS VCS, ThinPakTM Preliminary Data Sheet Description This voltage controlled Solidtron (VCS) discharge switch utilizes an n-type MOS-Controlled Thyristor mounted on a ThinPakTM, ceramic "chip-scale" hybrid. The VCS features the high peak current capability and low Onwww.datasheet4u.com state voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with extremely high dI/dt capability. This semiconductor is intended for the control of high power circuits with the use of very small amounts of input energy and is ideally suited for capacitor discharge applications. The ThinPakTM Package is a perforated, metalized ceramic substrate attached to the silicon using 302oC solder. An epoxy underfill is applied to protect the high voltage termination from debris. All exterior metal surfaces are tinned with 63pb/37sn solder providing the user with a circuit ready part. It's small size and low profile make it extremely attractive to high dI/dt applications where stray series inductance must be kept to a minimum.
