  • Abstract
    A numerical model of a three-junction device (pnpn family) is presented. It particularly allows the simulation of the external characteristics of the gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) which is used in electronic power convertors. The model is an extension of the Ebers-Moll model and it is implemented in the SPICE circuit simulator code.
