The Ideal GTO Thyristor (or Ideal GTOThyristor) component models a gate turn-off thyristor with an off-state conductance, $G_{\mathrm{off}}$, and an on-state resistance, $R_{\mathrm{on}}$. The parameter $V_{\mathrm{knee}}$ sets the voltage which commutates the thyristor. If $V_{\mathrm{knee}}<v$, a true value on the Boolean gate input, $\mathrm{fire}$, causes the device to go to the on-state, while a false value causes the device to go to the off-state. If $v\le V_{\mathrm{knee}}$, the device is in the off-state.

$\mathrm{off}\&equals;\left(s<0\vee \neg \mathrm{fire}\right)$

$i\&equals;i_p\&equals;-i_n\&equals;G_{\mathrm{off}}{V}_{\mathrm{knee}}\&plus;s\{\begin{array}{cc}{G}_{\mathrm{off}}& \mathrm{off}\\ 1& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$v\&equals;v_p-v_n\&equals;V_{\mathrm{knee}}\&plus;s\{\begin{array}{cc}1& \mathrm{off}\\ R_{\mathrm{on}}& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$\mathrm{LossPower}\&equals;vi$
