Abstract :
THE ADVENT of transistors and junction diodes and their incorporation into telephone equipment has increased the importance of the regulated metallic rectifier as a source of low-voltage d-c power. It has been found possible to replace vacuum tube and magnetic amplifier regulating circuits in these power supplies with equivalent, and usually more compact and efficient, semiconductor apparatus.1
