The leakage current through R_2 can be eliminated by introducing a second diode D_2 in series with that. This will make the output identical if R1 and R2 are identical. See the image above. The corresponding simulation file is File:555 diodes2 300 300.circuitjs.txt. Adding one more resistance (or potentiometer) to make it more symmetric. This is discussed in more detailed in the next chapter, because the two potentiometers can be easily replaced by a one. The file is File:555 diodes2 300 300 300.circuitjs.txt.
