Figure 82. Application o f Pulse to Trigger Circuit Without Cc Capacitors
Through this anode 'to grid coupling capacitor Cc,
this dip in anode potential of the conducting tube
over-rides the positive pulse on the grid of the
non-conducting tube, producing
a
negative dip as
shown at a2 (Figure 8 1 ) . The dip in the anode po-
tential of the conducting tube shown at a3 is in
this case caused by the same positive pulse acting
on its own grid.
For a positive pulse t o trigger The circuit, the
pulse must be sufficiently positive to overcome the
initial bias plus the negative swing produced at the
grid of the non-conducting rube by the dip in
anode potential of the conducting tube.
If properly designed, triggers such as those de-
scribed above are very stable, dependable, and in-
dependent of reasonable variations in supply po-
tentials.
A
20% varia~ion in either bias or anode
potential supply, or more if both vary together,
can be tolerated.
