FEATURES
s
The XT2116 is Asymmetrical Thyristor in which the
reverse voltage capability has been sacrificed to enable a
high forward blocking characteristic combined with
excellent turn-on performance.
s
Designed for rapid and efficient switching of high
current pulses.

Datasheet Annotations:
Dynex Semiconductor annotate datasheets in the top right hard corner of the front page, to indicate product status. The annotations are as follows:-
Target Information: This is the most tentative form of information and represents a very preliminary specification. No actual design work on the product has been started.
Preliminary Information: The product is in design and development. The datasheet represents the product as it is understood but details may change.
Advance Information: The product design is complete and final characterisation for volume production is well in hand.
No Annotation: The product parameters are fixed and the product is available to datasheet specification.
