Phase Controlled AC SwitchThe circuitPairs of complementary bipolar transistors can be used to form versatile circuits capable of simulating many negative resistance devices. In the following example, a thyristor model will be described. With increasing voltage v(3,4) both transistors are nonconducting. The critical level, determined by the r3 / r4 ratio, causes regeneration to occur producing an avalanche breakdown analogous to discharge in gaseous tubes. The initial condition is restored by the zero crossing of a sine wave voltage. This will be demonstrated with following phase control circuit.
