Abstract
It was found experimentally that the pulsewidth of popcorn noise has a dependence on the emitter current density. Experimental results show that, when a transistor having popcorn noise is operated at the emitter current density less than about 1.56 × 10-1A/cm2, the popcorn-noise characteristic is scarcely in the frequency range higher than 15 Hz, well below the audible frequency limit.Keywords
