Title :
Changeable negative resistance optronic circuit
Abstract :
A changeable negative-resistance optronic circuit has been constructed consisting of a combination of P-N-P transistor, a P-N LED and an N-P-N phototransistor, a P-N LED and a light activated power thyristor. The circuit provides changeable negative-resistance voltage-current characteristics for both increase and decrease in the positively applied voltage. The breakover voltage alternates between two discrete values obtained for specific values of control currents
