Ideal thyristor with or without forward voltage and on-resistance.
Switches
The Thyristor can conduct current only in one direction--like the diode. In addition the diode it can be controlled by an external gate signal. The thyristor is modeled by an ideal switch that closes if the voltage between anode and cathode is positive and a non-zero gate signal is applied. The switch remains closed until the current becomes zero. A thyristor cannot be switched off via the gate.
Each of the following parameters may either be a scalar or a vector with the width of the component:
