To measure gate trigger voltage and current, raise gate
voltage (V
GT
) until meter reading V1 drops from 6 V to 1 V.
Gate trigger voltage is the reading on V
GT
just prior to V1
dropping. Gate trigger current I
GT
Can be computed from
the relationship
V
GT
I
GT
= I
G
- ____ Amps
1000
where I
G
is reading (in amperes) on meter just prior to V1
dropping
Note: I
GT
may turn out to be a negative quantity (trigger
current flows out from gate lead). If negative current
occurs, I
GT
value is not a valid reading. Remove 1 k resistor
and use I
G
as the more correct I
GT
value. This will occur on
12 µA gate products.
