3. Characteristics of the temperature compensation diodes

The several temperature compensation diodes are connected in series, so the forward voltage is varied with

small current fluctuations. Therefore, in case the forward current flowing over the diodes is set at 2.5mA and

over, the forward voltage rises, and in the worst combinations, the idling current reaches to 40mA and over

with minimum VR of 0

Ω. On the contrary, in case the forward current is set at 2.5mA or below, the idling

current may not reach to 40mA with maximum VR of 200

Ω.

4. Parallel push-pull application

Adjustments of the idling current are required by each the resistor in parallel push-pull applications. One
