[neonixie-l] Re: Wanted: best few photos of Nixies in military equipment

I'd like to see some, too. Back in the mid to late 80's, the US military put out a joint recruitment commercial on TV. It was highlighting the high tech equipment, all the branches used, implying that the recruits will get career building tech skills. One of the shots was a piece of gear,

[neonixie-l] Re: HV control chips

I took a quick look at the HV5532 datasheet, and the 15V output-low voltage is at 100mA, which is far more current than you will need for a nixie. The outputs will tolerate an anode supply of +220V, so that gives plenty of margin. So, if you have an anode supply of +200V, you can calculate a

[neonixie-l] Re: HV control chips

I am looking to drive regular Nixies. I am trying to figure out how to read those datasheets! There are a lot of variations on a theme with this family of chips. I had to think for a bit, but I get what you are saying re. low voltage - I have to keep reminding myself that low voltage == ON

[neonixie-l] Re: Tired of German Postal Service and Customs

The problem I had with the whole situation is that I NEVER had a disputed package returned from Germany, telling me that they eventually got their package but never fessed up to it. Either way it was no longer worth the effort of annoyance so I cut them off a couple years ago. I tried to

[neonixie-l] Re: HV control chips

Are you driving segmented tubes (like the 7971) ? If so, I would advise against the HV-series drivers because you will need several different segment-currents. If it's a traditional 10-cathode nixie, where each numeral uses the same current, the HV devices work great. There's a variety of

[neonixie-l] HV control chips

Hi, I was following up on a discussion elsewhere which mention the HV5530 as a control chip for Nixie tubes. This has 32 outputs and 12V digital control, so it has some drawbacks. There are many other similar chips, in particular the HV3418, which has 64 outputs at 180V and 5mA, with 5V
