[BULK] - [Amps] Equalising resistors with HV diodes

[Joe Isabella]

Oh yeah!!  I forgot about those things.  We had a Huntron Tracker that did that kind of graphic analysis of junction devices, caps, coils, etc.  It was actually a pretty cool device.

Using an old Tek 575 curve tracer works, too. Those can deliver
thousands of volts bias, and let you not only run a rectifier prospect into
avalanche, but allow you to look at the breakdown characteristic to pick out
only those devices that are stable in avalanche -- they last a lot longer
(usually forever) than ones that jitter. -WB2WIK/6
