Electronic System Design Basics

The document discusses electronic system design which involves three main components: the input device, signal conditioning or processing device, and output device. Thyristors are described as a class of semiconductor device with four alternating layers of p- and n-material that act as open or closed switches, making them useful for control applications. Common thyristors include SCRs, diacs, triacs, and SCSs.

• Input device may receive an electrical quantity as its
input or a non electrical quantity as an input.
• When a non electrical quantity is the input to an
instrument, we require a device that converts the non
electrical quantity to an electrical signal.
• This electrical signal must be proportional to the non
electrical quantity.

• The name transducer is familiar to us. The one that
covers one form of energy to the other form is a
transducer.
• In industrial Instrumentation we come across the physical
quantities that are to be converted into proportionate
electrical signals. The displacement, strain, vibration,
pressure, flow, temperature, force, etc., are some of the
quantities that are to be converted into proportionate
electrical signals.

• Devices which perform an “Output” function are generally
called Actuators and are used to control some external
device
• Before the actuators can contro some extrenal devices, it
must be triggered or switched first. There are many types
of switches or triggered devices, and one of them are
Thyristors.

Summary

Thyristors

Thyristors are a class of semiconductor devices characterized


by 4-layers of alternating p- and n-material. Four-layer devices
act as either open or closed switches; for this reason, they are
most frequently used in control applications.
Some thyristors and their symbols are

(a) 4-layer diode (b) SCR (c) Diac (d) Triac (e) SCS
