Abstract :
Analytic closed-form switching time expressions of a tunnel diode are derived considering the voltage dependence of the diode junction capacitance and a small inductance that is always associated with the trigger circuit. The contribution due to the capacitance variation and that due to the inductance are expressed by a separate term added in the usual switching time results.
