Abstract

A gate-controlled switch includes a gate turn-off thyristor in series with a diode. By using the diode in series with the GTO, the switch significantly increases the turn-off voltage that can be used for the current commutation. The unity turn-off gain and the snubberless turn-off capability are demonstrated.
