Manual for K-Notes

Why K-Notes?

Towards the end of preparation, a student has lost the time to revise all the chapters
from his / her class notes / standard text books. This is the reason why K-Notes is
specifically intended for Quick Revision and should not be considered as comprehensive

ww study material.

w.E What are K-Notes?

asy
A 40 page or less notebook for each subject which contains all concepts covered in GATE
Curriculum in a concise manner to aid a student in final stages of his/her preparation. It

En
is highly useful for both the students as well as working professionals who are preparing
for GATE as it comes handy while traveling long distances.

ginWhen do I start using K-Notes?

ee rin
It is highly recommended to use K-Notes in the last 2 months before GATE Exam
(November end onwards).

How do I use K-Notes?


g.n
et
Once you finish the entire K-Notes for a particular subject, you should practice the
respective Subject Test / Mixed Question Bag containing questions from all the Chapters
to make best use of it.

Power Semi-Conductor Devices

Properties of ideal switch

1. Conduction state , VON  0,    ION  


2. Blocking state , VOFF  0,    VOFF  
3. Ideal switch can change its state instantaneously TON  0 , TOFF  0
4. No power loss while switching.

Classification of switches

Uncontrolled switch (Passive switch)

asy
Switching state cannot be controlled by any control signal E.g. Diode

2. Semi-controlled switch
En
gin
Only one switching state can be controlled by an external control signal. E.g. SCR

3. Fully controlled switch


ee rin
If both switching states can be controlled by switchable control signal. E.g. BJT, MOSFET.

Other Classification
g.n
1. Unipolar switch

The switch can block only one polarity of voltage when it is in OFF state.
et
2. Bipolar switch

This switch can block both polarity of voltage when it is in blocking state.

3. Unidirectional switch

This switch can carry current in only one direction when it is in conduction state.

4. Bidirectional switch

This switch can carry current in both the directions when it is in conduction state.

In forward blocking mode, J1 , J3 are forward biased and J2 is reverse biased.

 In reverse blocking mode, J1 , J3 are reverse biased & J2 is forward biased.

Latching Current

This is the minimum value of anode current above which SCR turns ON. This is related to
minimum gate pulse width requirement for SCR.

Holding current

Minimum value of anode current below which SCR turns OFF.
