Effect of series resistance on the switching time of a tunnel diode

A simple technique to reduce the switching time of a tunnel diode is discussed. The theoretical analysis using analytical expressions for the t.d, static characteristic is also given. It is found that mere addition of a resistance which is less than the negative resistance of the t.d. decreases the...

Zusammenfassung:A simple technique to reduce the switching time of a tunnel diode is discussed. The theoretical analysis using analytical expressions for the t.d, static characteristic is also given. It is found that mere addition of a resistance which is less than the negative resistance of the t.d. decreases the transient, time of the t.d. without introducing any complexity in the circuit behaviour and adjustments
