Application Notes
Figure AN1002.6
Similar to gating, latching current requirements for triacs are dif-
ferent for each operating mode (quadrant). Definitions of latching
modes (quadrants) are the same as gating modes. Therefore,
definitions shown in Figure AN1002.2 and Figure AN1002.3 can
be used to describe latching modes (quadrants) as well. The fol-
lowing table shows how different latching modes (quadrants)
relate to each other. As previously stated, Quadrant II has the
lowest latching current sensitivity of all four operating quadrants.
Example of a 4 Amp Triac:
Latching current has even somewhat greater temperature depen-
dence compared to the DC gate trigger current. Applications with
low temperature requirements should have sufficient principal
current (anode current) available to ensure thyristor latch-on.
Two key test conditions on latching current specifications are
gate drive and available principal (anode) current durations.
Shortening the gate drive duration can result in higher latching
current values.
Holding Current of SCRs and Triacs
Holding current (I
maintain the thyristor in the on state. Holding current can best be
understood by relating it to the “drop-out” or “must release” level
of a mechanical relay. Figure AN1002.6 shows the sequences of
gate, latching, and holding currents. Holding current will always
be less than latching. However, the more sensitive the device,
the closer the holding current value approaches its latching cur-
rent value.
Holding current is independent of gating and latching, but the
device must be fully latched on before a holding current limit can
be determined.

AN1002 - 3
Holding current modes of the thyristor are strictly related to the
voltage polarity across the main terminals. The following table
illustrates how the positive and negative holding current modes
of triacs relate to each other.
Example of a 10 A triac:
Holding current is also temperature-dependent like gating and
latching shown in Figure AN1002.7. The initial on-state current is
200 mA to ensure that the thyristor is fully latched on prior to
holding current measurement. Again, applications with low tem-
perature requirements should have sufficient principal (anode)
current available to maintain the thyristor in the on-state condi-
tion.
Both minimum and maximum holding current specifications may
be important, depending on application. Maximum holding cur-
rent must be considered if the thyristor is to stay in conduction at
low principal (anode) current; the minimum holding current must
be considered if the device is expected to turn off at a low princi-
pal (anode) current.

Relationship of Gating, Latching, and
Holding Currents
Although gating, latching, and holding currents are independent
of each other in some ways, the parameter values are related. If
gating is very sensitive, latching and holding will also be very
sensitive and vice versa. One way to obtain a sensitive gate and
not-so-sensitive latching-holding characteristic is to have an
“amplified gate” as shown in Figure AN1002.8.
