High voltage trigger remote-cathode SCR

A tunable high voltage trigger silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) with a high holding voltage is disclosed. The source of a drain extended MOS serves as the remote cathode for the SCR, while the drain of the drain extended MOS serves to generate avalanche currents to trigger the SCR.
