Tamaris is an archaeological site located in the commune of Martigues, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of France. It was an ancient fortified settlement belonging to the Avatici, a Celtic-Ligurian tribe who inhabited the region during the Iron Age.
The settlement was occupied mainly during the first half of the 5th century BC. The site is considered one of the important examples of early urbanized settlements in southern Gaul before the Roman conquest.
A silicon-controlled switch (SCS) is a four-terminal semiconductor device belonging to the thyristor family. It is a PNPN device similar in structure to the silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), but it provides separate control terminals for both turning the device on and turning it off. The SCS has connections to both transistor bases in the equivalent two-transistor model, allowing either gate terminal to initiate switching.
The device was mainly used in electronic switching, timing, pulse-generation, and logic circuits during the 1960s and 1970s. Its use declined with the development of more versatile semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, and integrated circuits.
