I have 4 of the larger devices (I-195 ?), and at 75mm character-height, they are the largest displays in my collection. Much larger than my nixies.
I'm still puzzled about the drive-current; supposedly these are capacitive loads, so at a given frequency & voltage you should be able to calculate the current. For sinusoidal waveforms, the peak current should be V/(2*pi*f*C). After measuring the segment capacitance of my device (ranges from 95p to 460pF depending on segment length), and calculating the current at 400Hz for all segments, I come up with 1.6mA. But the datasheet says 4-12mA, so I'm not sure what the discrepancy is. I dont have a suitable driver yet, and I've only taken a quick look at 60Hz / 150Vrms. The segments were very dim. I wont do any further work till I have a decent driver, then I'll post my findings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
