Thank
Thank you for that, I think I'm getting there, I can see that the peak
volts will be higher, 1.414 x 110 v. On that basis should I be OK using a
DC supply of equivalent voltage or perhaps even higher by changing the
series resistor value (I have several 170V supplies) then switching S0 to
S9 via
A bunch of my email delivery posts are out of order and missing some [for lots
of groups].
I’ll comment anyway.
Notice that there is no smoothing capacitor in that diagram [if we are looking
at the same one].
This means that with the halfwave rectifier you are going to get pulsed DC

They weren't meant to be driven as Nixies, but they can be even though I
guess that the data on how long they will survive is incorrect in the

Ah OK, 0.318 x input volts so about 32v DC?, is that correct?

Its been a while since I needed with this kind of thing. The 110v is half
wave rectified, does that mean that roughly 55v DC is presented to the tube
via the series resistor then the 5v logic levels are switching the
individual numbers on and off? No need for 170v DC from a nixie PSU type
thing
