This design would not suit our at all. However, my other design that uses direct drive would be well suited. The SP-353 has three digits and no colons so that's 21 segments per display. If you want a six digit clock then that would be easy with a couple of HV5622 shift registers. Unfortunately it would be difficult to have colons where you'd want them. If you used three displays then one digit could be used as a colon. You'd need 63 outputs, how convenient, that still leaves one spare! So that's a definite possibility and you'd have a spare output that could be used for something else perhaps. Would that work for you? Richard
