So, the Base-Emitter junction of a BJT is essentially a diode.
My interest is purely economic. I have a circuit that uses a PNP (2N3906) that is also connected to a diode (1N4148).
I can get a dual PNP in a SOT-363 package. By using half of it for the diode, there is only one part to buy and populate.
It simulates just fine in Ltspice. But are there any non obvious potential issues with using it as such?
