This block implements a single thyristor module.

A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating P- and N-type materials. It acts exclusively as a bistable switch, conducting when the gate receives a current trigger and continuing to conduct until the voltage across the device is reversed biased, or until the voltage is removed (by some other means). 

Parameters



Switch admittance (Gs)The discrete-time switch conductance, in S.
Internal resistance (Ron)The diode internal resistance Ron, in ohms (Ω).
Forward voltage (Vf)Amount of voltage required for current to flow through a diode, in V.
