Abstract

A three terminal replacement circuit for a Unijunction Transistor. The circuit simulates the characteristics and parameters of any UJT with appropriate selection of components. The circuit includes a first node having a voltage in accordance with a biasing circuit, a current conducting circuit for relating the voltage at the first node to a voltage at a second node and for conducting current from a terminal B2 to a terminal B1 through the second node in accordance with a resistor provided in that path, a first switching circuit which turns on when a voltage at a terminal E exceeds the voltage at the second node and a second switching circuit which turns on when the first switching circuit faces. The second switching circuit allows current to flow from the terminal E to the terminal B1 when turned on and changes the biasing circuit to lower the voltages at the first node, the second node and the terminal E.
