Allen, This should work. It's not done because it uses more parts than does anode current limiting.
My Nixie watch design uses a current limited power supply, which is a more efficient way to do this, but only in a multiplexed design.

Yet is there anything fundamentally wrong with limiting cathode current instead of anode current, assuming a design will reliably turn on one cathode at a time? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
