Re: Use SBM-20, Si-3B High Range Tubes in CDV-700 Probe Housing.
For proof-of-concept the project was started with tried-and-true circuits that we have used before, but these were installed into either the CDV-700 body or in a Pikes Peak Prospector housing along

Use SBM-20, Si-3B High Range Tubes in CDV-700 Probe Housing.
This little project led to a plug in adaptor that fits the 3 Pin 6993 socket on one end and has a clip on the other end to accept a Russian tube. The wiring board first adapts the normal CDV-700 HV

1) Yes. Unfortunately, delta-Vbe also has a positive temperature coefficient, and this is present as an error voltage between Q1 and Q2 due to non-matching bias currents depending on (UnRegHV-

Roger: 1) Something to check if stability isn't good enough. I guess I can glue the transistors together if necessary too. 2) well higher and lower voltage zeners from 5.1~5.6V have temperature

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
OK. My only other suggestion is increasing the zener voltage, such that the reference voltage becomes larger compared to circuit errors. Then, when the [744K trimmer] resistor between Q2 and ground

Cool Peter, thanks for that update. Been there, done that many times, just another part of the experimenting process, called "the smoke test". Geo To: "CDV700CLUB" <[email protected]> Sent:

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
Roger: Yup increasing the dropper resistor from 1M to 2.2 or 3.3M would improve the shunt regulator's performance, but some of my scintillator probes have low impedance resistor divider networks ~

Re: Question and an interesting site for those that modify CDV700s and more.
good deal! All is well! btw you might consider increasing that 1M "dropper resistor" to 2M or 3M, I think regulation may improve as it is increased. rogerw -- rogerw On the Catclaw ¦¬¦¯¦«¦¸¦ ¦«¦¡¦¢¦¥

I ought to take back the second sentence of my reply below: "If it does not ask for that breakdown voltage parameter, it is not there." You could be using a specific model from a model library in

Only if the MosFet model being used incorporates that feature. If it does not ask for that breakdown voltage parameter, it is not there. However you can add a discrete diode to the simulation and

of course, you don't mention the length, so if it's short, then 6993(again, different companies have different #'s for this too)
