[Vo]:Diode Array

[Charles M. Brown]

Paul uses sims a lot. He used some to make fine 
adjustments to his research meter. I used some simple 
SPICE DC circuit analysis to see how efficient diodes are 
at low power levels. I think a massive parallel diode 
grouping will do all that's necessary to rectify and 
aggregate Johnson noise. Paul believes that complex 
element arrays are needed. Paul believes that diodes 
should have high saturation current; I believe that good 
diode forward / reverse discrimination requires a low Is. 
He found the SMS7630, I searched that family and found 
the SMS7621 with lower Is and a little lower junction 
capacitance. I believe that there is room for everyone 
when the diode array emerges from obscurity. I would 
appreciate more scientific peer attention on

Electricity.
