For certain voltage amplifier types, this device included, the maximum permissible screen
grid input varies with the screen grid voltage, as shown in Figure 10.2. Full rated screen grid input
is permissible at screen grid voltages up to 50 percent of the maximum rated screen grid supply
voltage. From the 50 percent point to the full rated value of supply voltage, the screen grid input
must be decreased. The decrease in allowable screen grid input follows a curve of the parabolic
form. The rating chart is useful for applications utilizing either a fixed screen grid voltage or a
series screen grid voltage-dropping resistor; specifically:
•
When a fixed voltage is used, it is necessary only to determine that the screen grid input is
within the boundary of the operating area on the chart at the selected value of screen grid volt-
age to be used.
