Can anyone suggestion the power supply for subminiature tube.  Now, I used 9v battery for plate and 1.5v battery for heater to supply subminiature tube.

I tried to built the regulator to supply 1.5v for heater but do not function.  Input power source is 9v switching adapter, 2A supply to Plate and pass DC/DC regulator 1.5v supply to Heater per below drawing.

9v Adapter---------- DC/DC Regulator 1.5v -----> Heater

What does the tube's datasheet say it needs?

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

It's Russia Tube.  I have only this information.

Anode Current 0.95+-0.5mA
Grid2 current no more 0.1mA
??? 0.9+-0.3mA/V (what is measured in these units?)
The same with heater voltage of 0.95V: no less 0.48mA/V
Input resistance (could it be?) with operation frequency of 60MHz: no less 100Kom
Something about noise and resistance at 30MHz: no more 6Kom

Bulb Temperature 105C

Other values:

Enviroment temperature max +85C min -60C (+60C is a bit too high, so I think that minus sign dissapeared)

Feedback capacitance plate-to-grid. Significant for tuned-circuit amplifiers, insignificant for audio uses.

> 0.9+-0.3mA/V (what is measured in these units?)

Transconductance, Gm. US unit was Mho, later EUR unit is S, but is basically A/V. Gathode current change for grid voltage change.

> Input resistance (could it be?) with operation frequency of 60MHz: no less 100Kom

For most audio purposes the input resistance of a neg-grid tube is hundreds of Megohms. Above a MHz there is a resistive component which has to be accounted in tank design.

> Something about noise and resistance at 30MHz: no more 6Kom

Noise Resistance. Input hiss is similar to a perfect 6K resistor. About 1uV across the hifi audio band.

None of this matters for audio.

--------------------------------------------

The heater current is very-very small. You can run it from a 9V supply with a simple 600 ohms series resistor.

"Do not function" is not enough for us to help you.
