Re: [neonixie-l] Driving an IV12 Vacuum Fluorescent

I am only driving one tube otherwise I would use such a chip or the HV5812P-G serial-in which does not seem to need a negative supply. You probably have a good reason for your choice. My last schematic has errors which I have corrected below. I did not know the pin numbers for the IV12. These are c

I'm contemplating the HV57009 for my upcoming VFD clocks; it requires a negative supply so that presents some challenges but a single device can drive 64 segments at 2mA each. On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 9:48:06 AM UTC-8 bung...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks Davis; I think I have a solution bu

Hi Peter, For my vfd clock project (https://github.com/davidmpye/VFD), I used the following high side driver ICs (I used one per tube but of course I could've multiplexed) They are either known as UDN2981 and there's also a Toshiba version (TDSsomething). They aren't BCD though - just one pin pe

Have you looked at a max6920 or 6921? On Sat, 30 Jan 2021 at 00:57, peter bunge wrote: > I need to drive a single IV12 vacuum fluorescent display from a BCD to 7 > segment chip. > I could use level shifters like the CD40109B or CD4504B but they don't > have 7 devices in one chip (4 and 6) and on

I need to drive a single IV12 vacuum fluorescent display from a BCD to 7 segment chip. I could use level shifters like the CD40109B or CD4504B but they don't have 7 devices in one chip (4 and 6) and only drive 18 volts which might work. I could use a ULN2803 transistor array with 7 pullup resisto
