Re: How to test a tunnel diode?
atmega tester don?t have enought current tor drive a 10mA TD. It will be seen as a low ohms resistor, 10 ohms aprox for a 10mA TD diode

Yes, I have a curve tracer too. I think that is John Hudak who is asking Now I?m trying to measure the TD capacitande. /g/TekScopes/album?id=260881 If you set low series resistor in

Re: How to test a tunnel diode?
Thanks for that explanation Miguel. I knew there was a way to do this. I have a Curve Tracer, so I have not had to use your method. . -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR

Re: How to test a tunnel diode?
If your components are in sockets, and if the scope simply will not trigger; one simple way to test is to swap the "A" and "B" Trigger circuit components one at a time and see if the problem transfers

Pulse Generator S-52 Description
Hi All, I've just uploaded a PDF I created that I hope helps describe the S-52 Pulse Generator output. The S-52 generates a fast 25ps output edge for use in the 7S12 (and other) Time Domain

Re: How to test a tunnel diode?
Hi John, Tunnel Diodes can be checked on a curve tracer. I will send you some resources off list in a separate E-mail. Some others here have reported that you can have a "Good" TD that is NOT GOOD at

Re: How to test a tunnel diode?
Yes, but of course it depends in what and how other components are connected to the TD. You will get more to the point replies when you mention the type of scope and the TD number in the schematics.
