If PCB size is your concern, then use an HV5530 driver. Even though it's surface-mount, it's pretty easy to solder it and 1 device will drive 3 tubes. My latest clock has six IN-18 tubes, plus all the connectors, drivers, level-translator, and current-limiter for each tube on a 8.5" x 3.25" PCB. Half the PCB area is the IN-18 footprint. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
