Application Notes

The a-g-k system should be used as the input section with the cathode grounded, and the a'-g'-k' system as the grid-grounded stage. When used in cascode amplifiers, a voltage divider is required for the grid of the grounded-grid section to avoid exceeding the maximum plate voltage.
