Re: Nixie Tube Power Supply tips
Thanks Vincent, but that is not an option, I would like to have 300V @20mA peak at my disposal for *one* Nixie tube. I think I will have to contact the people from Traco, hmm, unless someone of you

Re: Nixie Tube Power Supply tips
Most simple way seems to me to just split the nixies; half powered from one module, half from the other.

Re: Nixie Tube Power Supply tips
Is there a way I can use my two MHV's parallel? > I'd suggest a call or email to their applications engineering group. They may tell you how to do it, or refer you to an app note about it. Terry

Nixie Tube Power Supply tips
Hello folks, I am planning to build a "decent" 0..300V Nixie tube power supply. My thoughts: I have two of the MHV12300SP described here:

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
Care to explain what that 1K resistor i circled in red, does ??? I am temped to try it out - just a big waste of time laying out that elaborate PCB for all that chips spaced close together.... I

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
Yep. I breadborded the circuit to death before going with Hans' schematic all the way. I simply could not get it to work! - I had problems with ghosting, strange noise issues and so on... Wiring up

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
Yep. I tried connecting the two secondaries in series to obtain a higher voltage, but found out that the 170 volt secondary just won't cut the mustard - it sags a lot under load, so i scrapped the

Re: Road Sign?
Does this forum cater for magflip displays? I used to work up the road from a roadsign company and I rescued several such displays, enough to make a 6 digit clock after swapping out the dead pixels

Schematic for Nixie clock the chimes on the hour?
Hi All, Can anyone point me to a circuit diagram and/or a controller chip that will let me build a clock that chimes on the hour? (One chime for 1 o'clock, three chimes for 3 o'clock, etc.) I was

Everything in our camp is solar powered. Of course, someone in the next camp over always parks their RV with its generator facing us. I'm bringing SatanVision, a big LED television that I built last

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
Yeah, I figured you were doing something tricky with those emitter pull-downs, but I'm too busy working on the Burning Man packing stuff to do a proper circuit analysis. Thanks for the lucid

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
I did a little 'Muntz' to rid myself of an extra resistor per stage. As you notice all the bases, of all the MPSA42s are tied to a roughly fixed 3.4V. When one of, the 3, stages is ON, its emitter is

Re: IN8-2, cathodes stealing current from decimal point, what to do ?
That's a pretty simple circuit to get the job done. One question - what sets the 280 uA current in the MPSA42 collector to MPSA92 base connections? Shouldn't there be a big resistor there? The MPSA42

Re: Road Sign?
Fully operational, but later in the description he contradicts this by saying the sign board does not power up. As for a home clock, I think the diesel generator might keep you awake at night. Joe
