A double quench circuit for an avalanche current device is provided in which the circuit includes an avalanche current device having a first terminal responsive to a bias voltage to reverse bias the avalanche current device above its avalanche breakdown voltage. A first quench circuit is responsive to the bias voltage and coupled to the first terminal of the avalanche device for reducing the amount of the avalanche current passing through the avalanche device. A second quench circuit is coupled to a second terminal of the avalanche device for reducing the amount of the avalanche current passing through the avalanche device.
