Which statement is true for latching current ___________?
Correct answer: C. It is related to turn on process of the device.
- A. It is related to turn off process of the device.
- B. It is related to conduction process of device.
- C. It is related to turn on process of the device.
- D. Both C and D.
Explanation
Latching current concerns the turn-on transition: after the gate pulse is removed, the anode current must rise above this value to latch the SCR on. Holding current, in contrast, concerns the turn-off condition.
