= Krytron
{wiki=Krytron}
A Krytron is a type of high-speed switch used in electronics that operates on the principle of gas discharge. Specifically, it is a gas-filled tube that can quickly switch between conducting and non-conducting states when a small voltage is applied to its control electrodes. Krytrons are known for their ability to operate at extremely high speeds, making them suitable for applications such as pulse circuits, radar systems, and other high-frequency electronic devices.
