Description Package Size - 6 The voltage controlled (VCS) discharge switch is an n- type MOS-Controlled Thyristor semiconductor. The VCS features the high peak current capability and low Onstate voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with extremely high di/dt capability. This semiconductor is intended for the control of high power circuits with the use of very small amounts of input energy and is ideally suited for capacitor discharge applications. The cathode and gate contact pads are metallized with aluminum for aluminum m wire bondable surfaces. The Anode is metalized ed with solderable metal providing the user with a solderable die attach device that may be installed using conventional or lead free solders.

A1. Use of Gate Return Bond Area. The MCT is designed for high di/dt applications. An independent cathode connection or "Gate Return Bond Area" was provided to minimize the effects of rapidly changing Anode-Cathode current on the Gate control voltage, (V=L*di/dt). It is therefore, critcal that the user utilize the Gate Return Bond Area as the point at which the gate driver reference (return) is attached to the VCS device. Note: All product specifications and data are subject to change without notice. The device specifications listed in this datasheet may not be considered as an assurance of the component characteristics. Devices will need to be tested and qualified in their respective applications. Depending on the application adjustments to the data contained in this datasheet may be necessary. The use of Silicon Power products in medical, life saving, or life sustaining applications and systems is subject to prior specification andwritten approvalby SiliconPower. Wetherefore strongly recommend prior consultation of our personal. Packaging and Handling 1. The cathode and gate contact pads are metallized with aluminum for aluminum wire bondable surfaces. The anode bond area is metalized with a solderable metal surfaces(plating meets IPC-4552 Specification for Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG), 3 to 6 μm [118.1 to 236.2 μin] Ni/ 0.05 μm minimum [1.97 μin minimum] Au providing the user with a solderable device. 2. This device must be coated or potted using a dielectric material prior to subjecting to voltage above 1kV. 3. Installation reflow temperature should not exceed 350 o C or device degradation may result. 4.
