Abstract
An integratable bias circuit for semiconductor junction diodes of the type exhibiting junction capacitance when reverse biased by suitable applied voltages includes a source of fixed bias reference voltage applied to the diode junction. The reference voltage is selected less than the reverse conduction breakdown voltage of the diode junction to prevent diode operation beyond its reverse breakdown potential while also reliably determining the junction capacitance.
