Gate loses control after the TRIAC is turned
ON so it semi controlled
Construction
MODE 1/Quadrant 1
Gate and MT2 is positive
compared to MT1
The dotted line gate current
directly flows to MT1
This caused the Gate-MT1(npn)
to switch ON
This causes the MT2-MT1(pnp)
to switch ON
Since the current flow is small
through the P layer from Gate
to MT1 gate current
requirement is more compared
to SCR
Since the current is directly
applied to the Base of the NPN
this is the most sensitive mode
MODE 2/Quadrant2
Gate is negative and MT2
MODE 3/Quadrant 3
Gate and MT2 is negative
w.r.t MT1
1.MT1 and Gate (p-n) is
forward biased
Some of the minority
carriers drift to the
underlying n region
This lowers the potential
causing the pnp transistor
to switch ON
This causes the potential of
the underling P layer to
increase which also
increases the Base current
of the npn
MODE 4/Quadrant 4
Gate is positive
and MT2 is
negative w.r.t to
MT1
Gate (p) to MT1(n)
is forward bias
Free electrons from
p layer injected to
underlying n region
Similar to Mode 3
This is the least
sensitive mode and
