The subject of avalanche-mode pulse generators comes up
here now and again. A colleague pointed out to me that
a Philips BFG541 transistor will avalanche nicely at
around 50V or so.
Confirmed. It's quite fast too: I measured a 150ps
risetime, using a Tek S-6 sampler plugin in a 7000 series
mainframe. It's a little over twice as fast as the 2n2369 I
usually select for this purpose.
I thought some people around here might like to know...
Anyone here know any other transistors that will also
avalanche fast? (I know of Zetex. Not so great.)
