Abstract :
The effects of dv/dt, di/dt, and temperature in thyristors are modeled. The device ratings with respect to these characteristics are made programmable in addition to two other programmable parameters: reverse recovery time and on-resistance. The I-G SPICE IV/G6 software is used to perform modeling, analysis, and simulation of thyristor circuits with devices characterized by these five parameters
