Abstract :
Tunnel diodes may be used to amplify, switch, or generate oscillations and can be combined with transistors to take advantage of favorable features of both devices. The tunnel diodes´ basic circuit simplicity, high-speed operation, and various methods of combining them with transistors are illustrated and described.
