Reverse-Conducting Thyristor
Reverse-Conducting Thyristor RCT (Reverse-Conducting Thyristor), also known as reverse-conducting thyristor, is a power semiconductor device that integrates an ordinary thyristor and an anti-parallel diode on the same die. Its characteristic is that a diode is connected in reverse parallel between the anode and the cathode of the thyristor, so that the emitter junctions of the anode and the cathode are in a short-circuit state.
