- Abstract
In this paper, the series connection of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) will be analyzed with respect to their stability properties. An alternative approach to the commonly used loadline construction for the analysis of circuits utilizing the series connection of RTDs is presented. Furthermore, the basins of attraction of multiple operating points will be determined analytically by Brayton-Moser's mixed potential function. Therewith, the jump postulate by Andronov et al. will be generalized for series connected N-type nonlinearities. In addition, the numerical results will be verified by measurements. At the end, the discussed method is applied to the monostable-bistable transition logic element, which today is one of the most promising logic circuits in nanoelectronics.
