Notes:
The value of L2 must be adjusted as the
supply voltage is changed to maintain
resonance in the output circuit. At 81 MHz its
value changes from approximately 50 nH at
100V to 70 nH at 165V.
The duty cycle past 100V must be reduced to
insure power dissipation is within the limits of
the device. Maximum pulse length should be
100mS or less. See figure 7.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
WARNING
5
The ceramic portion of the
device between leads and
mounting flange is beryllium
oxide. Beryllium oxide dust is
highly toxic when inhaled. Care
must be taken during handling
and mounting to avoid damage
to this area. These devices
must never be thrown away with
general industrial or domestic
waste.
