What is the functional similarity between a thyristor and a BJT? What are their differences? How do you turn the thyristor into the forward conducting status? In the forward conducting status, a thyristor is equivalent to a pair of interconnected BJT. In the following diagram, mark the corresponding BJT types (PNP or NPN) and related terminal types (E.B.C) of each BJT. List two methods of turning off a thyristor from the forward conducting status; after the thyristor is turned off by each method, which state (mode) does the thyristor come into?
