Pete, that's a nice application for the cascode circuit... Help me understand how it eliminates concerns about dead time and ghosting. Terry On Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 3:05:55 AM UTC-6, petehand wrote:

One more thing about the cascode. Transistor Q1 is dissipating 170mW with the values shown. It may get a little warm - you have to watch that. You can put a helper resistor between Q1 collector and Q2 base. The value is completely immaterial since the current is set by the R2 emitter resistor,

I will be placing an order for NE-2G bulbs in a few days, and wanted to know if anyone here is interested in obtaining some. They are 8mm diameter x 18mm long. The minimum purchase is 1000 bulbs, and I only need about 400. My cost is about $190 US for 1000 bulbs. ($150 for bulbs, $40 shipping

Wow, sadly I bought as many as I will need for a while. I would've liked your length more. Mine are about half that size. -joe On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 5:08 PM, gregebert gregeb...@hotmail.com wrote: I will be placing an order for NE-2G bulbs in a few days, and wanted to know if anyone here is
