- Hence tunneling current is maximum.<br />

TUNNEL DIODE EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT<br />

• This is the equivalent circuit of tunnel diode when biased in negative resistance region.<br />

• At higher frequencies the series R and L can be ignored.<br />

• Hence equivalent circuit can be reduced to parallel combination of junction capacitance and<br />

negative resistance.<br />

Applications<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

As logic memory storage device<br />
