The data sheet for that tube can be looked up online to get the recommended voltage and current.
Generally, I use 170 to 175 volts DC at a current of around 2 milliamperes. As Don Lancaster states on page 92 of the TTL Cookbook about the 74141: "175 volts and 15K" (Consult readout data sheet for more information) Chuck > > >---- Original Message ---- >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Driving ZM1040 tubes >Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2011 09:49:45 -0500 > >>> Is there any merit between running the tubes with a high anode >voltage or a >>> lower one with a corresponding lower series resistor? >> >>You'll get faster striking (no big deal in a direct drive design), >and better current regulation with a higher anode voltage. >>Efficiency will be lower, and there's a slightly higher chance of >leakage current. >> >>- John >> >>-- >>You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >Groups "neonixie-l" group. >>To post to this group, send an email to [email protected]. >>To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >>For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group >/neonixie-l?hl=en-GB. >> >> $4.95/mo.
