Product Information

However, electrons cannot flow in the reverse direction because the plate is not heated and does not emit electrons. In the early years of the 21st century there has been renewed interest in vacuum tubes, this time with the electron emitter formed on a flat silicon substrate, as in integrated circuit technology. Colossus was the first use of vacuum tubes working in concert on such a large scale for a single machine. Although vacuum tubes have been largely replaced by solid-state devices in most amplifying, switching, and rectifying applications, there are certain exceptions. This can be used, for instance, as an image intensifier in which the discrete channels substitute for focussing.

The cathode-ray tube was the dominant display technology for televisions and computer monitors at the start of the 21st century. A considerable amount of heat is produced when tubes operate, from both the filament (heater) and the stream of electrons bombarding the plate. This effect occurred especially in pulse and digital circuits, where tubes had no plate current flowing for extended times. With these devices, electrons are field-emitted from a large number of closely spaced individual emission sites.

The invention of the "equipotential cathode" reduced this problem, with the filaments being powered by a balanced AC power transformer winding having a grounded center tap. tubes that accepted a low-current beam and intensified it to provide a display of practical brightness. Tube caps were also used for the plate (anode) connection, particularly in transmitting tubes and tubes using a very high plate voltage. The earliest vacuum tubes evolved from incandescent light bulbs, containing a filament sealed in an evacuated glass envelope. citation needed] As of 2012 [update], they were being studied for possible applications in field emission display technology, but there were significant production problems.

One reliability problem of tubes with oxide cathodes is the possibility that the cathode may slowly become " poisoned" by gas molecules from other elements in the tube, which reduce its ability to emit electrons. Three different voltages were generally required, using three different batteries designated as the A, B, and C battery. Some otherwise conventional tubes do not fall into standard categories; the 6AR8, 6JH8 and 6ME8 have several common grids, followed by a pair of beam deflection electrodes which deflected the current towards either of two anodes. Due to the high voltage placed on the anode, a relatively small anode current can represent a considerable increase in energy over the value of the original signal voltage.g., for long-life computer use) are indicated by moving the number immediately after the first letter: the E83CC is a special-quality equivalent of the ECC83, the E55L a power pentode with no consumer equivalent. Many designs use such a screen grid as an additional anode to provide feedback for the oscillator function, whose current adds to that of the incoming radio frequency signal.
