Thanks for the input![thumbsup2]
As I look at my design, I see that the 2 scr's that I need to switch are in series with a diode in between them. That would mean that I need 4 seperate mosfet's. I would need to fire them sequentialy.
A off
B on
B off
A on
A off.....
It is starting to look...
The thyristors that I am using right now are IR80RIA40. The old number is IR2N2030. It has 2 small wires coming out of it. A gate wire and a shunt wire.
Gunslinger, you get a medal for a great idea![medal]
If I used a flip-flop, It would have to have 4 seperate FET's. One to turn A on, one to...
Thank you for the help!
Silly me, I thought a person could use the shunt lead in a curcuit to turn the thrystor off. [blush]
What I need is to switch 2 different areas of my design on and off alternatly. A-B-A-B-A-B-A....
(A) must be completly off before (B) switches on.
(B) must be...
I am building an electronic power supply from my own idea. I have 2 seperate thrystors that each have a gate wire and a shunt wire. I want to fire them alternatly. A first, and then B, and back to A and so on at 120 htz.
They will be switching 24 V DC at 80 Amps. The gates can handle 10 volts...
