Hello Guru
Thanks for posting your question in the Infineon community
(dv/dt)critical is the maximum value for the rate of rising of a voltage applied in a forward direction running almost
linearly from 0% to 67% of VDRM at which a thyristor will not switch to the on-state. For an exponential rate of
voltage rise it is a line which crosses the exponential function starting from 0% to 63% of the maximum value.
It applies for open trigger circuit and maximum permissible junction temperature. Exceeding (dv/dt)critical may
cause destruction.
Exception: Aside from the over-voltage protection (BOD) light triggered thyristors have an integrated dv/dt
protection. This causes the thyristors to trigger safely over the entire gate structure when the dv/dt gets to high.
LTTs have the advantage of electrically isolated triggering by fiber optic links. In addition, the modern LTTs provide
integrated protection functions like overvoltage protection (Break over Diode, BoD), dv/dt protection and Forward Recovery Protection (FRP).
Thank you
Guru
