Note 1: Intrinsic standoff ration: VP =
η
VB2B1+ VF, where VF is about 0.49V at 25°C @ IF = 10µA and decreases with temperature at about 2.5mV/°C. Components R1, C1, and
the UJT form a relaxation oscillator; the remaining circuitry serves as a peak –voltage detector. The forward drop of diode D1 compensates for VR. To use, the “cal” button is
pushed and R3 is adjusted to make the current meter, M1, read full scale. When the “cal” button is released, the value of
η
is read directly from the meter, if full scale on the meter
reads 1.0.
Note 2: Use pulse techniques: PW
≈
300µs duty cycle
≤
2% to avoid internal heating due to interbase modulation which may result in erroneous readings.
Available Non-RoHS (standard) or RoHS compliant (add PBF suffix).
Available as “HR” (high reliability) screened per MIL-PRF-19500, JANTX level. Add “HR” suffix to base part number.
