I'm trying to figure out how a 74141 IC works, but it's making me feel stupid. Please keep in mind that i am completely new to electronics and circuits. Help?!?
I've got a 74141 on a breadboard. Based on the datasheets and nixie clock schematics I've been studying I put 5vdc at pin 5 and pin 12 to ground. Right now I'm just trying to light up an LED (some nixies are coming in the mail). So I connected the LED to the 5v and to the 0 output at pin 16. Since all four inputs are at no power shouldn't this light the LED. Please tell me I'm just doing something stupid. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
