Default Re: Noise Source

The Pye 1961 patent I attached mentions the difference between Zener and Avalanche, says Avalanche is what you need, that you can use a transistor instead of an Avalanche diode, and constant current is the preferred mode. They say that a breakdown voltage of 6-7V is preferred.

What's that - 61 years ago?
