I would like to build a clock/counter/timer with the ZM1200 pandicon tube, which contains 14 digits 0-9 that can only driven by multiplexing.
Datasheet: http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/dat_arch/ZM1200_philips.pdf What i wonder: - Does the Bias Voltage or Screen Voltage draw any current, or can it be limited to nearly zero? - I would create the different Voltages with Z-Diodes, like in the Schematic, page 6 : http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/dat_arch/ZM1200_valvo.pdf - For pulse duration i would go with about 300us, should not be a problem for modern microcontrollers, and the HV513 IC - I don't know much about multiplexing at all, is the idea to switch on one digit for 300us, and then the next, or make a small gap where nothing is driven (all low)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
