Pulse Generator on an Avalanche Transistor with Low-Voltage Circuit Supply
摘要
Abstract
A design of a nanosecond pulse generator is presented. The pulses are generated by the avalanche breakdown of the transistor, which also participates in the generation of the voltage required for the avalanche breakdown of the collector junction. As a result, the circuit is compact and operable from supply voltage 1.1 V. The circuit is very simple, does not require adjustment, and the parts used are available. The amplitude of the generated pulses is approximately equal to 40 V on a load of 50 Ω.
