LM317T Voltage Regulator with Pass Transistor

with Jim Williams, Staff Scientist video.linear.com Most circuit designers are familiar with diode dynamic characteristics such as charge storage, voltage dependent capacitance and reverse recovery time. Less commonly acknowledged and manufacturer specified is diode forward turn-on time. This parameter describes the time required for a diode to turn on and clamp at its forward voltage drop.
