[neonixie-l] Nixie safe current question

2015-12-10 Thread rubli
Hello I finally got to make my own design of a clock using a PIC16F886, and have a question... I am using a Optocoupler (PIC817) to drive the anodes, cathodes are driven by a 74141. collector of the opto is tied directly to my HV of 170 Volts, on the emitter of the opto, I have a resistor of

dissipated in the resistor is found from that average too. The guys who regularly multiplex will give you data or rule-of-thumb for it. John k - Original Message - From: rubli To: neonixie-l Sent: Friday, December 11, 2015 2:39 PM Subject: [neonixie-l] Nixie safe current
