I'll try to be brief, my problem involves interpreting data sheets of components. For example on the data sheet for a SCR I see the following data:
Min / Typical / Max
Gate Trigger Voltage (Continuous dc) : 0.4 0.6 0.8
Now, does that mean I require voltage within those ranges- or can I use the full value of the anode / cathode? For example if it also has a "Peak Repetitive Off−State Voltage" of 600 volt(dc)- can the gate handle that?
