In some of power
semiconductor devices, we should not
reverse the polarities while applying the
supply voltage.It means, if we apply
positive voltage to the negative
terminal and negative voltage to the
positive terminal, the device will get
damaged. ie, there is no reverse voltage
protection. On the other hand, some of
power semiconductor devices have the
capability of withstanding bipolar
voltage.
1. Uncontrollable power
semiconductor devices
Diode: The ON and OFF state are
not depend on the control signal.
They depend on the power source.
2. Partially controllable power
semiconductor devices
SCR, TRIAC, DIAC -- They are
turned ON by applying gate signal.
But these devices can not be turned
OFF with the help of gate signals.
They are turned off by load or by
commutation.
3. Fully controllable power
semiconductor devices
Power BJT, MOSFET, IGBT, GTO --
These devices can be both turned
ON and turned OFF by applying
gate signals

Hi
I’m looking for those power devices
that are used in Radiofrequency
circuits, do you know?
Thanks
