Hardly. Your statement:
"Sadly, pointing out the truth about certain things in this world is
no longer acceptable. Political-correctness and such like. It's slowly
getting worse, too. For some factual historical views one can even
risk imprisonment and have one's carreer and livelihood destroyed. The
views are too important to hide, so they have to be disseminated by
stealth. It requires that certain precautions be taken. A shameful
situation, I grant you."
contains no mention of the method of anonymity you use, hiding, which
you admit to later on in the post to which I'm currently replying.
Consequently, it's not a question of lack of comprehension on my part,
but a lack of clarity on yours.
However, I should have guessed that would be your method of choice
judging from the bob-and-weave tactics you've employed in your earlier
posts.
---

If you have to hide to preserve your liberty then you have no liberty
to preserve.
---
---
More bob-and-weave, huh?
The point wasn't that the change in drop was a large percentage of the
drop at the knee, it was that the change in drop was small compared to
the large change in current through the diode. If you recall, the
application was inserting a silicon diode or two in series with a
power supply in order to realize the ~ 0.7V drop each diode would
yield with the device operating, to which you responded with:
"Um, yeah, but they drop voltage _according_ to current! If they're
dropping 0,7V., they're not passing much current! Diodes are a crap
way to drop voltage unless the load is light and predictable!!!"
which _is_ crap since, in the first place, the load current will be
predictable since it will vary between two limits and, in the second
place, the drop across the diode with the variations in load current
and junction temperature will also be predictable.
For example, a 1N5400 will drop about 0.7V with about 100mA through
the junction, but that drop will only increase by 200mV for an
increase in current to 3A.
Likewise, a 1N3491 will drop about 0.7V with 100mA through the
junction, but with 0.9V across the junction the current through the
diode will be about 8 amps.
So, in the first case, if a 200mV change in input voltage to a load
can be tolerated for a load current change of 3 amps, it'll work fine.
In the second case, an 8 amp change in load current will cause a
change of only 200 mV in the drop across the diode. Not exactly what
I'd call a 'light' load, and all of it predictable.

Well, IME, for the same If, Vf depends on what the diode's made of.
Easy enough to check it out... get yourself a 9V battery, a 20K
rheostat, a silicon junction diode, a Schottky diode, a 0-1mA ammeter
and a 0-1V voltmeter. Making sure you have the rheostat cranked to
the max resistance position, connect everything up like this:
+9V
|
[R]
|
+----->>----+
|A |
[DUT] [0->1V]
| |
+----->>----+
|
[0->1mA]
|
-9V
Then, adjust the rheostat to the position required to make the
milliammeter read 1mA, note whether the DUT is the Schottky or not and
write that down along with the voltage indicated by the voltmeter when
the milliammeter reads 1mA. Do the same thing using the remaining
diode and report back to us with what you find, OK?
---

Before you can determine whether or not someone knows how a BJT works,
you need to know how a diode works. You haven't demonstrated any real
competence in that arena, so I suggest you do the experiment I
described and see what you can learn from it.

i don't remember ever getting involved in this thread, i was justMiles said:
enjoying the bickering that was taking place.
i don't need to open text books on Silicone theory, let see if i can
remember anything from years ago. 4 electrons for each (silicone)which
bond to 4 other atoms, N Dope material that has 5 electrons which allows
one to move freely and the P material that has 3 electrons which creates
a hole, or more like a void etc..(poorly worded i know)
i don't remember the compounds used now for the N an P doping/but
phosphorus, arsenic, boron,gallium and some others i can't remember.
all i remember is that they need > 4 electrons for the N dope
and < 4 for the P dope.
etc..
the above maybe a little vague because i don't sit and study physics and
have no need to keep that at the top of my head every day.
SO what ever, transistor theory is basic to me , i understand and
know how to work with it and i guess that is all that matters.
Have a good day.

Ummmm...I would like to point out that the "relative" in most
relevant cases here will mean "with respect to other DC voltages
in the circuit," NOT with respect to the magnitude of the B-E
drop itself. For the purpose of most DC biasing calculations,
f'rinstance, assuming the B-E junction to be a constant drop of
~0.6-0.7V works just fine, thank you very much. You can go
back and refine things if you like, later on, but you'll generally wind
up with results far closer to reality than the accuracy you can
count on in the component values, supply voltage, etc.. So
what's all the hubbub, bub?
Why do I get the impression that the "works and plays well
with others" box was rarely checked on your report card?

[semantics snipped]
More semantics.. Where's the beef??
Semantics again...
[snip more bilge]
No really??? Goodness me!
I don't have to do this stupid experiment. Any half-competent engineer
will know that the barrier height potential of the Schottky will be
*much* lower than a 'comparable' silicon diode. You're talking maybe
270mV. Germaniums likewise (but you won't remember germanium diodes,
Junior). Shall we perform your dumb experiment with other types, too?
How about a back diode? can you get any lower than that?
If I learned anything new from *that* experiment I'd give up
electronics altogether tomorrow.
There's nothing wrong with my diode theory, Junior. I'd probably
completed my studies before you were even born. Don't talk back to
your elders and betters. Learn some respect.
Sorry, no compliment intended. I infer you're older in view of your
cockiness and the foul language you readily resort to each time your
ignorance is exposed.
HAND, Junior!

I don't know. Ask Fields. He's the one with the problem!
I'm well aware that diodes are used to drop voltage in many circuits.
The technique crops up frequently in the drives to Class AB and B
amplifiers. It has shortcomings, however and I'd never suggest a
newbie make use of it.
Why do I get the impression that the "works and plays well
with others" box was rarely checked on your report card?
Correct. No one likes an achiever, but I never gave a damn about
popularity. My coursework always came first - like myself at the top
of the class.

Now that I've explained it to you you can pretend you knew it all

Here's a little something (Positively Fourth Street) from Bob Dylan
you might identify with: (Pay particular attention to the sixth,
eleventh, and twelfth verses.)
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
Bob Dylan

And yet, "knowing" all that you chose to make this unqualified
statement earlier on?:
"You *do* realize that one diode drop at room temperature is only just
over half a volt, don't you, Junior?"
I'd say that sentence speaks volumes about your competence.
---
---
Sure I do. they were after copper oxide and selenium, but before
silicon.
---
---
An experiment can't be dumb, [stupid] but the experimenter can.
That's why I suggested that _you_ start with the pot cranked to
maximum resistance.
---
---
I'd have to look it up to find out, but the subject isn't diodes with
a negative resistance characteristic, it's just plain ol' garden
variety rectifiers.
---

Hmmm... Where have I heard _this_ before?:
"You *do* realize that one diode drop at room temperature is only just
over half a volt, don't you, Junior? "
M
Miles Harris
I ain't pretendin' nuthin'. This is all *basic* stuff and nowhere near
even undergrad level.
[bafflement]
None of which is applicable here. Thank God they don't write 'em like
that anymore.
I'd say your remark simply shows once again that you either don't
read, or don't understand, what is written for your consumption. (That
much was obvious from your tedious exchanges with Kevin). You ought to
know perfectly well that my earlier comments were in relation to a
typical silicon diode with a Vbe of 0.6-0.7V. Allow me to quote from
an earlier post of mine made 2 days ago:
"Really? So what is it you're taking issue with? Taken as a
generalization for most silicon diodes I can't see real problem with
it."
I thereby made it perfectly clear I was *not* including the more
exotic varieties of diode in my remarks!
So you did a little research on the Web, uh, Junior? Well it's about
time you absorbed something for a change. Keep it up!
How very thoughtful. And there was I about to connect it straight
across a lead/acid battery...(forward-biased, of course).
Indeed. So why all this nonsense about Schottkys?
Your ignorance is only exceeded by your persistence, I'll grant you
that.
Fine; that's the way it is all too often with you kids today. I blame
rap music for turning their heads.
ROTFLMAO!! That's rich, coming from you of all people.
"FOAD" isn't a swear word; it's an acronym containing one. I wouldn't
stoop so low as post the 'F-word' in a public forum. And from what
I've read of Mr. Thompson's contributions, he makes pretty frequent
use of the acronym himself. "Honi Soi Qui Mal Y Pense" as they say in
France!

John Fields

What a surprise!
---

Don't undestand allusion, huh?
---
---
A 9V lead-acid battery? Where would you propose to find one of those?
---
---
Nonsense? Schottkys _are_ as plain ol' garden variety diodes as
silicon junction diodes are WRT negative resistance characteristics,
but that's hardly the point, the point being that you made the
statement (no matter how you hard you try to slime out of it) that a
diode's Vf is about 0.5V at room temp, which it is _not_ if you're
talking about a silicon junction diode, which we were.

I understand allusion perfectly, Junior. What I don't understand is
why some spotty-faced, high-school-reject jerkoff like you would want
to post lyrics from a song that so clearly flags up his own
self-loathing. You're so full of yourself in your postings, yet you
cite self-disparaging lyrics that basically show you up to be the sad,
sorry-assed, sack of s**t loser/loner that you really are. That's
quite an admission in a world-wide public forum!
I appreciate you're only trolling here, Junior, but if you do a little
research on the Web you'll find that such batteries are comprised of a
series of lower value cells. You just place them in series and stick
'em in one box and voila: you have the required voltage.
BTW, I don't appreciate sarchasm from spotty-faced, high school
rejects, so cut the crap and show some respect, boner.
You can't have it both ways, Junior. Let me repost that quote of mine
that you're so fond of citing in this thread:
Now, please tell us which common-or-garden, run-of-the-mill,
general-purpose silicon diode *doesn't* have a drop of "just over half
a volt" at room temperature??
Yes, I do. As is clear for all to see. Sadly, I don't have Kevin
Aylward's degree of persistence, however.
I find it exceedingly tiresome to have to repeat, ad nauseam, the kind
of entry-level basics that my youngest son was acquainted with a good
3 years ago.
Certainly not. I know the song you quoted, but like everything else
Dylon wrote, it's an overvalued crock of s**t. I'd wager that in truth
you get off on the likes of Eminem, 50 Cent, Tupac and Dr. Dre. That's
where you get your dire attitude problem from, IMO.
Why wouldn't anyone want to be successful and erudite? Why wouldn't
anyone want to be able to piss all over jerks like you in debates? Why
wouldn't anyone want to be able to see through the smoke and cut to
the quick?
My youngest (like his siblings) is going to grow up to be just like
his dear old dad - a chip off the old block - whether he likes it or
not. It's for the best. The alternative is too horrific to
contemplate. It's just a tragedy that I can't save him from exposure
to the poisonous, soul-destroying influences of the rap music culture
that you so clearly embrase and embody.
I'm not familiar with that term and I shudder to think what it might
mean, coming from a foul-mouthed young hudlum like you. Kindly
preserve my igorance!
No, I'm simply maintaining my place on the moral high ground.
We don't all live in a free country, Junior. My right to say what I
believe has been proscribed by the stinking British government. Just
think yourself lucky that you're alive and well in a country that's
only too happy for you to sit in front of your dumb TV shows, jerking
off at all those topless models.
There's nothing false about me, Junior.

If you weren't so insistent on fooling yourself into believing that

by using Dylan's "hiding what you don't know to begin with" line to
point it out to you.
---
---
Boner??? Is that supposed to be some kind of insult where you come
from? It doesn't make any sense as an insult here, and I'm pretty
sure it's not supposed to be a compliment, so unless you care to
explain it, it'll fall on deaf ears. Even if you do explain what you
mean though, it probably won't make much difference since most of what
you say is bullshit, anyway. Case in point, that 9V claim of yours.
With a terminal voltage of about 2.041V,
http://www.tpub.com/content/doe/hdbk1084/css/hdbk1084_24.htm
There's no way you can get 9V out of any number of lead-acid cells no
matter how you choose to arrange them or what kind of a box you put
them in, LOL! Now, you can't get much more basic than batteries, and
you obviously don't know what you're talking about even there, so
you're running at about what so far? Zero for two?
---
---
Rather than just handing you the information, I think it would be a
good thing if you got off of your fat, lazy, ass and performed that
little experiment I suggested and then post what you find. I mean,
after that battery fiasco aren't you even interested in finding out
whether what you think you know about diodes is true?
---

Or, obviously, his acumen.
If you did you would have noticed that if my persistence is >0, then
at the lower limit of persistence (which I've been exercising so far)
my ignorance would be zero.

There's a lot better porn on the net than there is on TV, I'm sure you

kick out the Brits and lose a lot of lives doing that, then we had to
jump into WW1 to _save_ the Brits and then, a few years later jump
into WW2 to save the Brits again. We _all_ lost a lot of lives to
"save the world", and a little luck here and there helped, but it
wasn't _all_ serendipetous.

So you're saying I can't get 9V from a lead-acid battery?? And I'm not
talking about relying on any type of rheostat or voltage-dropper here.
You're saying it's impossible for me to get 9V out of a lead-acid
battery by itself alone? Are you serious?
IOW: "Holy crap! Miles has boxed me into a corner here so rather than
admit to the fact that I was wrong all along I'll try another
diversionary tactic."
Look, Junior, your 'experiment' simply demonstrates that the barrier
height potential of the Schottky is around half the level of a regular
silicon diode. You OTOH seem to think they're the same thing and
therefore interchangeable, presumably. I wonder why they bother to
make Schottkys then? said:
I'm certainly not used to having my opinions questioned by a
snotty-faced school kid, that's for sure. You gotta lot of nerve,
Junior. Most good folks simply accept what I tell them and go away
wiser for it. Not so in your case, however. :-(
You don't like my personality? Sounds like sour grapes on your part,
Junior.
I haven't seen any evidence of that yet...
I've made a good living from my technical skills over the years,
Junior. People don't pay you good money for being a bonehead. Now,
isn't it about time you stopped jerking off in front of that computer
and went back to high school?
Certainly not. it's beneath my dignity.
Shame you can't kick them out of *here* as well!
Britain wasn't occupied in either WW so I don't know where you got
that lofty idea from. And 'you' were quite happy to sit on the
sidelines and twiddle your thumbs until the Nips blew Pearl Harbor all
to hell. If that incident hadn't forced your hand after more than 2
years of inaction, you'd probably have stayed out of WW2 altogether
and left us to get on with it alone.
Correct. To my very great intellectual cost!
I wonder if entering into discourse with the ignorami can eventually
result in organic brain damage? :-/
Time will tell.

John Fields

Yeah, but I'm not talking about cheating and loading the battery down
so hard that its internal resistance drops 3V (if it's a 12V battery).
But, I could be wrong, so what did you have in mind?
---
---
The purpose of the experiment is to prove that your statement that the
Vf of a silicon junction ("regular")diode is a little over 0.5V is
wrong. The reason for performing the experiment on a Schottky diode
as well is to show that the Vf of a Schottky is lower than that of a
silicon junction diode. So do the experiment and prove that I'm wrong
and that the Vf of a silicon junction diode _is_ close to 0.5V, or
shut up.
---
---
Well, yes. I tend to be critical of blowhard self-proclaimed
purveyors of "Trooth", who do little more than proselytize.
---
---
It's not that _I_ like it or dislike it, I do neither. I look on it
as just another manifestation of an ego trying desperately to seem
important.
---
---
Selective vision at work...
---
---
Well, you may have made a good living, but if you have to ask for help
with writing a verbal description of the internal resistance of a
battery, then I suggest that the quality of your "technical skills"
is suspect.
---
---
If they're bigger boneheads than you are and you can talk them into it
they will.
---
---
Actually, you're right. This exchange seems to be little more than
mental masturbation, and I _do_ need to get some development work
done, so I think after this post I'll just cut you loose and leave
you to your own devices.
---
---
OK, then, one more thing you _can't_ do.
---
---
Count me out of that one. We've got enough problems over here without
taking on yours as well. You fix it.
---
---
Had we not jumped in the first time you would have been, and there
probably would not have been a Britain to defend the second time.
---
---
Well, we preferred to _try_ to remain neutral, but no... somebody
always has to start shit and then we get involved in it because we get
asked to or because we get war declared on us and then everything just
spirals out of control and it turns into a big ol' war.
As far as the Japs are concerned, they attacked us on December 7th of
1941, and we probably would have gone off and just taken care of that
if it hadn't been for Germany declaring war on us a few days later, so
maybe it's lucky for you all that in addition to being attacked by the
Japs, the Germans also declared war on us. We eventually would have
jumped in to help you guys, we always do, but the German action left
us little choice about the timeline. Anyway, that's all water under
the bridge, and what we're _really_ talking about is your technical
incompetence.

5 cells in series, partially-discharged, powering a small transistor

I've heard of splitting hairs but this is ridiculous, you insolent
young pup. You are saying both diodes are essentially the same and
therefore interchangeable. I'm saying no way; certainly not for all
applications at the very least.
You want to be careful with those long words, punk; they'll aggravate
your acne.
I don't give a fig for being revered. That's a concern solely for
lonely, lame-ass losers with a fragile sense of self. Ring any bells?
You gotta try harder....
Once again, you misunderstand. That's what comes from listening to too
much rap music. I can't communicate on the same level as young punks
like you; that's all there is too it.
Not at all. They beat a path to my door. I don't even have to
advertise.
Translation: "My ass can't take no mo' whuppin' from this Miles guy! I
need to bail out - and fast!!!"
ROTFLMAO!!!
BTW, if this "development work" you have in mind is to make your dick
bigger, you'll find the Swedes make the best devices. ;->
That'd probably be safer. We're fed up with getting shot-up by your
gung-ho, narcoleptic troops in these all-too-frequent "friendly-fire"
incidents. :-(
Nonsense. We had the largest navy in the world at the outbreak of WW1.
And the Germans never wanted to wipe us out, anyway. They were our
biggest admirers! Hitler was a great anglophile; it must have broke
his heart to bomb us.
So what's your excuse for invading Vietnam? Or Korea? Or Iraq (to name
but a few) for that matter? I don't recall any of those countries
attacking your lame ass.
I possess none. I must add one point, though: when *your* ass is on
the line, *we* are just as keen to jump in and help you (for what its
worth with what's left of our vastly downsized armed forces). We don't
forget past favors and there's still a lot of affection here for you
bastards.
ROTFLOL! I can't help but like you in a strange kind of way. You
remind me of the son I never had - THANK GOD!!! ;->
