What is SCR?
SCR stands for Silicon Controlled Rectifier. It's a four-layer solid-state semiconductor device that controls electric current. SCRs primarily function as electronic switches for high-voltage applications and can handle high current levels, making them suitable for medium and high power AC phase control applications, such as light dimming, motor speed control, and inverters.

IGBT
IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is another power semiconductor device that can be used in similar applications as SCRs, acting as an alternative switching device.
MOSFET
MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a semiconductor device widely used for switching and amplification of electronic signals. Like IGBTs, MOSFETs can be used in similar power electronics applications as SCRs.
SCR Complementary Technologies
SiC
SiC (Silicon Carbide) is a semiconductor material used to create diodes, MOSFETs, and other devices that can enhance the performance of SCR-based circuits by improving switching speed and efficiency.
VFD
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) often uses SCRs as the switching devices in its power conversion stage to control the speed of AC motors.
MATLAB
MATLAB can be used to model, simulate, and analyze SCR circuits and systems. Its used to test and verify circuits before implementation in hardware.
