R RESISTOR CALCULATION
The purpose of the resistor R is to limit the current
IG through the thyristor gate. Its maximum value
can be calculated as follow :
R max = (Vs min - VGT max) / 2 IGT max
POWER LOSSES (For 20µs - see note 1)
The following equations can be used to evaluate
power losses :
For TH VTO = 2.65V Rt = 0.110 Ω
For D2 VFO = 1.73V Rd = 0.075 Ω

PROTECTION AGAINST PARASITIC SPIKES
The capacitor C2 in relation with R acts as a filter
and avoids the unexpected firing of the thyristor
due to parasitic spikes. Good results have been
obtained with 10nF capacitance.
