Description
This temperature limited diode is designed for use us a stable reference source for voltage regulator applica- tians, or for use in circuits requiring a tube with tempera- ture limited emission characteristics. Temperature fimited operation of the tube causes anode current to become o direct function of filament voltage, and thus small changes in applied filoment voltage will produce rela- tively large changes in anode current. The use of a pure tungsten filament permits continuous vse of the tube in the temperature limited region without change or damage to the filament during the life of the tube. Close control of critical dimensions and a processing schedule designed to eliminate residual gas content, provide o tube with highly stable charactedistics held to close tolerances,
