I use this circuit for base and make with some modifications. http://labkit.ru/html/clock?id=479 I replaced PIC to Atmega. I replaced MBTA42 transistors and 10k resistors to 2 IC KF155ID1. And some pins directed to control led light. чт, 24 янв. 2019 г. в 03:07, David Forbes : > Nice watch. Do

Hi guys, im phill, ive just built an IN-14 nixie clock, have tested throughout, 4.7V on low output, 174V on high output, 12V input, everything went well, tested tubes, all fine, now to main power up and nothing, only 12V input is reading, there are 3 main diodes, 1 of wich appears to be

Yes. K155ID1 is very large, because DIP-16. But my chip KF155ID1 is smaller, because SO-16 package. https://www.ebay.com/itm/192786210553 ср, 23 янв. 2019 г. в 21:36, Kevin A. : > Nice work. K155ID1 is a very large chip however. > > Check out the microchip hv5523. > > Very small high voltage

Thanks for that, Martin, This graph is really helpful, and is extracted from the Burroughs data: This is for a different tube, but it does suggest that a current of around 8mA (which is what I am getting) with 170V across the tube is not entirely unexpected. I will report back when a few new

Nice work. K155ID1 is a very large chip however. Check out the microchip hv5523. Very small high voltage serial to parallel converter (qfn-44 package). 32 high voltage outputs. You can try making a watch with this, very small using the same drive technique (shift register) On Wed, Jan 23,

Similar to the foam idea, in my clocks I use a 2mm thickness of silicone between the (cast acrylic) clamp and the neck of the tube. The silicone rubber should last decades, it is translucent for good looks, and it seems to shield the heat from getting to the acrylic clamp. As for ventilation,

You can look at the Burroughs datasheet: https://frank.pocnet.net/other/Burroughs/B5750B585X.pdf for some details on the multiplexing of Nixies, there are some notes and also diagrams that explain the necessary voltages and currents in relation to the multiplexing timing there. I also know
