[neonixie-l] New display on the block?

2010-10-24 Thread Jens Boos
Hi folks,

check out Ebay item 150510936469, if you haven't already done so, type
number ITS1A. Their description says:

These thyratron-type tubes pumped with neon, but makes beautiful
emerald-green color of light: green is by phosphor film over the
electrode, with orange shade of neon discharge around segments - looks
very cool! These can be operated by pulsed TTL-level signal - you can
apply short pulse to grid to turn taken segment into active state,
which is very convenient. And no current-limiting resistors are
needed! All resistors are already inside, just provide operating
voltages. Besides, you can make different symbols due to independent 7-
segment design.

Sounds kind of interesting. Has anyone built something with these yet?
It is the first time I see these offered, IIRC. The seller sits in the
US, quite unusual for Soviet displays.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions,
Jens

This is certainly interesting. Are there any russian speaking engineers that
can help explain how to drive these?
http://promzi.ru/lb-6-67-extr/

I have a russian woman at work that I often accost with datasheets similar
to this, but she's not an engineer and it becomes kind of a project. I
notice that there is one katod on the pinout, perhaps these are driven more
similar to VFD's than to nixies.

Hello.
They`re thyrathrons with phosphor, it`s said in the auction and it`s true.
I`ll post some data tomorrow, but in`s a long story :).

Best regards,
Dmitry Dianov.

This should be obvious, but you didn't mention it: did you check the
tube itself by hardwiring it? It is not unheard of for nixies to
develop internal shorts.
