20-VOLT AVALANCHE DIODES AS NOISE GENERATORS,
Abstract
Measurements of noise output and observations of noise spectrum were made on 20-v silicon avalanche diodes (often called Zener diodes) over the range of noise-producing voltage at -40, 75, and 160 F. Six types from five manufacturers were selected for this test. Each diode type evaluated was obtained from a single manufacturer. Among those tested, type lNl3l7A is believed most suitable for use as a noise generator, but planar diodes are preferred in all circuits in which a sufficiently high supply voltage is available.
