UPGA301Ae3
Compliant
Nanosecond SCR Switch
DESCRIPTION
The UPGA301Ae3 is designed for high current narrow-pulse switching applications where size
and current handling capability are critical. These devic es ma y be triggered on using lo w
power logic drivers from (+0.8 V at 200 μA). Epoxy packaged, oxide passivated planar SCR
chips with metallurgic bonds on both sides to achieve high reliability. Internal wire bond
connection allows high current surge capability for narrow pulse applications.
