So I was looking on digikey for a SCR gate when I see a column for 'Voltage Gate Trigger Max' and it goes from 200mv to 5v and the 5v ones are like a million dollars-
So what is Voltage gate trigger (max)?
I'm assuming its the max voltage allowed to the gate.?
Anyway I want to use one in a system powered by a 4v battery. So do I have to get the voltage way down into the millivolts? Can I just add a resistor in front of the gate?....and if so how do I calculate how big of a resistor?
thanks
