    Abstract: A circuit includes two input nodes and two output nodes. A rectifier bridge is coupled to the input and output nodes. The rectifier bridge includes a first and second thyristors and a third thyristor coupled in series with a resistor in series. The series coupled third thyristor and resistor are coupled in parallel with one of the first and second thyristors. The first and second thyristors are controlled off, with the third thyristor controlled on, during start up with resistor functioning as an in in-rush current limiter circuit. In normal rectifying operation mode, the first and second thyristors are controlled on, with the third thyristor controlled off.

    Abstract: A switch includes three components. Each component includes a stack of three semiconductor regions of alternating conductivity types and a control region in a first of the three semiconductor regions having a type opposite to that of the first semiconductor region. The first semiconductor regions of the first and second components are of a same conductivity type and the first semiconductor regions of the first and third components are of opposite conductivity types. The first semiconductor region of the first component is connected to the control regions of the second and third components. The first semiconductor regions of the second and third components are connected to a first switch terminal, the third semiconductor regions of the first, second, and third components are connected to a second switch terminal, and the control region of the first component is connected to a third switch terminal.

    Abstract: A bidirectional power switch includes first and second thyristors connected in antiparallel between first and second conduction terminals of the switch. The first thyristor is of an anode-gate thyristor, and the second thyristor is of a cathode-gate thyristor. The gates of the first and second thyristors are coupled to a same control terminal of the switch by respective dipole circuits. At least one of the dipole circuits is formed by at least one diode or at least one resistor.

    Abstract: A control device includes a triac and a first diode that is series-connected between the triac and a first terminal of the device that is configured to be connected to a cathode gate of a thyristor. A second terminal of the control device is configured to be connected to an anode of the thyristor. The triac has a gate connected to a third terminal of the device that is configured to receive a control signal. The thyristor is a component part of one or more of a rectifying bridge circuit, an in-rush current limiting circuit or a solid-state relay circuit.

    Abstract: A converter includes first and second transistors coupled between first and second nodes, and first and second thyristors coupled between the first and second nodes. The converter is controlled for operation to: in first periods, turn the first transistor and second thyristor on and turn the second transistor and the first thyristor off, and in second periods, turn the first transistor and the second thyristor off and turn the second transistor and the first thyristor on. Further control of converter operation includes, for a third period following each first period, turning the first and second transistors off, turning the second thyristor off, and injecting a current into the gate of the first thyristor. Additional control of converter operation includes, for a fourth period following each second period, turning the first and second transistors off, turning the first thyristor off, and injecting a current into the gate of the second thyristor.

    Abstract: A voltage converter includes a circuit formed by a parallel association, connected between first and second nodes, of a first branch and a second branch. The first branch includes a first controlled rectifying element having a first impedance. The second branch includes a resistor associated in series with a second rectifying element having a second impedance substantially equal to the first impedance. The second rectifying element may, for example, be a triac having its gate coupled to receive a signal from an intermediate node in the series association of the second branch. Alternatively, the second rectifying element may be a thyristor having its gate coupled to receive a signal at the anode of the thyristor.
