w2aew | #302: Back to Basics: How to match diodes -- measurement setups to find diodes that are matched @w2aew | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Sometimes a circuit will specify that the diodes used should be "matched". This can mean a number of things. This video discusses diode matching, how to measure diode characteristics to find devices that match, and some of the good/bad about different measurement methods - from using DMMs to curve tracers.
