  • Abstract
    This paper discusses some of the factors which have to be taken into account in the evaluation of point contact diodes for computer work in view of the forward transients which may be present. Oscillograms of forward transients are shown and comparisons of various diodes and operating conditions made. Material is presented to acquaint the engineer with the forward transients attributed to the spreading resistance of point contact diodes, and illustrate why they should be considered by designers of high speed pulse circuits.
