Abstract
The invention relates to an electric generator sensitive to ionizing radiation produced by the reverse mounting of a diode in parallel between a reverse polarization stack and a pulse converter or only with a pulse converter. A generator is thus provided that can be used inside a spacecraft or in the atmosphere by using cosmic radiation, or in an environment containing ionizing radiation such as in the medical or nuclear fields, and which is preferably directly mounted on a printed circuit board receiving a remote sensor.
