TUNNEL_DIODE_PULSEHEIGHT_DISCRIMINA_TOR

Used to analyze 30,nsec pulses varying in height from 0 to 6 v peak, over temperature range of -20 to +60°C, Ten stages were connected in parallel and 0.5.v steps used for 0 to 5 v output range. When tunnel diode is triggered at its predetermined level, Q1 delivers fixed current to operational amplifier. As input pulse height increases, more and more tunnel diodes are triggered, and current to operational amplifier increases linearly.-J. D. Nickell, tunnel-Diode Pulse-Height Discriminator, EEE, 13:9, p 75.
