However, for nixies you wont encounter enough load-current that would require paralleling of devices. Here's a tech paper, albeit old, that describes paralleling of MOSFETs in detail. It was written by my college prof back in the 1980's. At that time, there were far fewer choices for devices.

Roddy's response pretty much sums everything up, I'm afraid. Unless you can find a market for inexpensive mass-produced nixie tubes, you will fail. I'd love to buy $25 in18 or larger tubes though and wish you good luck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

With FETs, it works naturally, as the conduction channel has a positive temco. The cooler FET has the lowest resistance and so it takes more of the load until it reaches the temperature of the others. IGBTs have a negative tempco EXCEPT for those designed to be run in parallel. In my highest

Yes, you can put FETs in parallel -- a technique I've used many times for motor controls. There are things you need to keep in mind, such as being sure to use identical parts, and keep them at the same thermal potential. You also need to understand the gate drive requirements that can change

Someone here might give some thought to making a list of movies, t.v. shows, etc. that have Nixies in them. Either clocks, instrumentation, etc. Perhaps the moderator here could supply a spot here on neonixie, where that info could be added by the members. Ira. On 4/23/2017 5:13 AM, Paul
