Hi,
I want to choose a diode for a circuit where the edges are very fast (1-5ns range), high-ish voltage (+/- 100V) and i want as little overshoot and ringing as possible during a step input, where it settles very fast.
How do i go about choosing the correct diode? I've tried looking at datasheets for diodes and they seem to offer very information. I understand the power and temperature side of it. Obviously i want something with minimal inductance and capacitance, in a perfect world a device that doesn't have a complex impedance would be ideal. The question is, how do i find my perfect device?
My question also goes for zener diodes as well? Pretty much the same as a diode, 1-5ns edges, +/-20V and as little overshoot and ringing as possible during a step input.
Thanks
