They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche ... a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams.

The first source of entropy is a typical avalanche diode circuit, which is formed by a pair of transistors. This circuit creates high-speed random pulses which are sampled by the onboard ...

SPICE can serve as a valuable tool to validate and optimize the performance of surge-protection circuits using transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) avalanche diodes. The small size, fast response ...
