A Note on the Reverse-Biased P-N Junction as a Circuit Element,
Abstract
The large signal pulse response of a simple coupling circuit composed of a resistor and voltage dependent capacitor is analyzed. The rise and decay times of this circuit are shown to differ from each other. When this circuit is driven by a symmetrical rectangular pulse train, it is found that the steady-state average capacitor voltage depends on both the period and magnitude of the input voltage source. This variation in average capacitor voltage with period may lead to undesirable changes in the biasing and parameters of the associated active devices. (Author)
