Definition of "metal-oxide semiconductor controlled thyristor (MCT)" |
a voltage-controlled four-layer (pnpn) device for medium power (700 A) and medium speed (20 kHz) applications, with projections to 2000 A and 100 kHz. Unlike transistors, MCTs can only be on or off, with no intermediate operating states. The MCT has high current handling capabilities, a low forward voltage drop, and low gate drive requirements (no large negative gate current required for turn off). |
