I think there is a new version called PA0367ANLT Yes, soldering this ic is a major issue, I don't have a reflow oven. For me using very little amount of solder paste and a hot air gun works fine. You're absolutely right, with 12V the test PSU has the best efficiency at 60mA (89%) but then it

I use the LM3478. It seems to have similar specs and comes in a SOIC version too. I was going to evaluate several, but the LM3478 worked well enough for my purposes! On Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 4:48:28 PM UTC-4, SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F. wrote: > > The LT3757 looks quite like a nice ic, i

The LT3757 looks quite like a nice ic, i will try it with the transformer *PA0367A *from Pulse elctronics, its quite small. Since its only availabe from digikey, i have to wait until i have an order big enough to order at digikey :/ Probably alot of people are not into new supplies because

What a lovely idea this is! I was thinking of building a 7971 Circuit where people could snap their very private 7971 Text via the internet, by sending the content and getting a image in return, but well, since someone already had this idea, i'll leave it to it and start thinking about other

This is a wonderful display. Thanks for sharing. The closest I will ever get to 7971's is this: https://twitter.com/NixieBot On Monday, March 4, 2019 at 3:31:27 PM UTC-5, Ian Sparkes wrote: > > This used to be a meme on the web: 16 B-7971 tubes set up as a "Shoutbox",

After further testing, the use of LT3757 (voltage regulator), DA2032 (transformer), CSD19533Q5A (MOSFET) and RFN2LAM4STR (diode) seems to be a good combination for a nixie PSU. Now trying to optimize the board design. Am Samstag, 9. März 2019 20:49:57 UTC+1 schrieb newxito: > > I was using
