All had to work with wes a hall page Seen snformation In one reference gui, anda singe ine engy in anoines, See clee mentioned that a 8731 also an excellent aio tube amar © @ RTA {hat Steve Ray Vaughan used i his guar amples. I foked throug te as Books agin, sn ur no eae eran es ee he aa some from te mid-1850's and one aa recent as 1980, and togedncr they Cas Up half a sheifin one of my bookcases. Thave plenty of infomation, hey rane ofits for tubes that are obsolete and relevant mado cual I then made another observation about my data archives. The ‘companies that published the data manuals no longer make the popular audio tubes. These tubes are now made in other parts of the world by different companies using diferent manufacturing equipment. It would be reasonable to assume that the tubes manufactured today might be slightly diferent than than those made thirty years ago. I recognized a need to compile all the useful information into a single desk reference manual for audio design engineers, As an independent research project. I set out to verify and update every previously published detail regarding the currently popular and semi. popular low-power triodes. From a sample pool often to fifty of each tube type, measurements were made, and a baseline reference tube was selected a8 & “model”. Empirical data tables were compiled for three different parameters? 1 Plate Characteristics. 2. Transfer Characteristics, and 3. Constant Current Characteristics. This information was processed and validated through a Sequence of numerical analysis algorithms that I devised. Dynamic characteristics were found by applying first- and second-derivatives to the static data. This information was finally compiled as graphs and data tables, {© ease interpolation and extrapolation of the data.. Results showed conclusively that “they don't make them like they used to". This doesn't mean that tubes made today are any better or worse, they are just subtly different, as the data ‘m this manual verifies,| THE AUDIO DESIGNER'S TUBE REGISTER 2 volume 1 ‘Subtle errors may exist in this published data, but the margin of error Js typically + 5 % between graphs (often better). In the case of non-linearities and apparent aberrations from expected response, data has been presented ‘measured, and has not been "corrected". This was done to present “actual information, rather than an “ideal” model. Be advised that the final results found in this book have been applied to actual circuit designs, and have been found reliable and more than adequate for audio design work, ‘This book has been given the sub-title "volume 1, common low-power triodes". I have done this because I eventually intend to publish 2'more volumes. One will catalog “low-power pentodes, odd-balls, and archives". and the other will catalog “power tubes and rectifiers”. Since this book took almost a year from concept to completion, I do not intend to do the other two volumes any time soon. I may complete them sometime this decade, schedule permitting, ‘This book assumes that you already know how to interpret tube data ‘and can find a Q-point on a Plate Characteristic graph, Ifyou are unsure about how to apply tube data for design, the principles are extremely similar to J-FET ‘and MOSFET designs. This book also makes the following assumptions. The circuit being designed wil be Class-A. so the grid will always be negative. ‘Since ‘the grid is negative, grid current is assumed to be zero, Finally, since the grid ‘current is zero, the plate current is equal to the cathode current. “The data in this book exceeds the information provided in the "classic" ‘tube manuals, since additional “never published before” curves have been Included, and even some of the typical data is referenced differently. Constant Current Curves have been included to aid in cireutt design analysis. The Static Plate Resistance Curves, also included, will permit a circuit designer to model a static triode circuit as a simple resistive voltage divider. Maximum ratings are referred to as "Design-Center Maximum Ratings". This rating ean be considered the S.0.A. (safe operating area) of the specified tube type for a tube configured as a class-A amplifier at idle. The Q-point should be within this S.0.A., and the limits have been shown on the graphs and charts, where applicable. Although ‘most triodes listed in this book are designed to withstand transient signals that ‘greatly exceed the listed D.C.M., the dynamic operation of the tube should not Cause the average operating parameters to exceed the D.C.M. specified. Designing a circuit within these parameters ensures consistent and reliable circuit operation for the duration of the tube's “lifetime”. wish you success in your design efforts. 1 hope that the data compiled {in this book leis you spend more time enjoying your circuits and less time designing them. ‘Tom Mitchell 7/93 PP = = eee ee eeINTRODUCTION NOMENCLATURE USED IN THIS BOOK GID TO PLATE CAPACITANCE {RID TO CATHODE (INPUT) CAPACITANCE PLATE TO CATHODE (OUTPUT) CAPACITANCE PLATE VOLTAGE PLATE SUPPLY Gio voLTAGE Grip suPeLY HEATER VOLTAGE HEATER SUPPLY HEATER-CATHODE VOLTAGE TRANSCONDUCTANCE PLATE CURRENT HEATER CURRENT ‘CATHODE CURRENT DYNAMIC PLATE RESISTANCE STATIC PLATE RESISTANCE GRID RESISTANCE ‘CATHODE RESISTANCE PLATE LOAD RESISTANCE AMPLIFICATION FACTOR‘THE AUDIO DESIGNER'S TUBE REGISTER 4 volume 1 ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee he hme hme heae Se ee eee eee le et 6C4 MEDIUM ut TRIODE INDUSTRIAL EQUIVALENT SIMLAR TYPES. 0C4 IS A MEDIUM p TRIODE.
