Nick, This is based off of a 34063a boost converter with feedback. i can give ranges of 100-150v 150-200v and also fixed voltages. One benefit of my board is that it can be PWmmed by the analog output of a micro. For instance, i am able to make the tube fade in and out while displaying the time. i

Yep, I'm with Bill here, It's great to do this stuff on your own, but really the only way to beat the tayloredge PSU is with either crazy output power or crazy efficiency, and even then 64mA @ 180V and 80% is more than most people need. On Apr 4, 2:52 pm, Bill Esposito wrote: > The problem is, Ta

The problem is, Taylor Electronics has already beat you to it. I mat be missing something, but Taylor's HVPSs seem to be the same size but more powerful and cheaper than the one you've put together ( http://www.tayloredge.com/storefront/SmartNixie/index.html). That's not to say your power supply is

Hi Jason - no problem with showing off what you've been up to at all! There are a whole bunch of nixie PSU boards & designs out there - tell us a bit more about yours - the specs might help for a start! i.e. what chip its based on, the output voltage range, the current it'll deliver under regulati

Hi everybody, I thought you guys might actually be interested in something like this. I not only built this for myself and my project, i thought there might be others out there that would like an all smt solution in a small prototype friendly solution. This is actually the first place a came to sh
