Description: All About Circuits is a website that “provides a series of online textbooks covering electricity and electronics.” Written by Tony R. Kuphaldt, the textbooks available here are wonderful resources for students, teachers, and anyone who is interested in learning more about electronics. This specific section, Thyristors, is the seventh chapter in Volume III –Semiconductors. A few of the topics covered in this chapter include: Hysteresis; Gas Discharge tubes; The Shockley Diode; The DIAC; The Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR); The TRIAC; Optothyristors; The Unijunction Transistor (UJT); The Silicon-Controlled Switch (SCS); and Field-effect-controlled thyristors. Diagrams and detailed descriptions of concepts are included throughout the chapter to provide users with a comprehensive lesson. Visitors to the site are also encouraged to discuss concepts and topics using the All About Circuits discussion forums (registration with the site is required to post materials).
