I spoke to a technical guy at Supertex in the UK a few months back. He said that they were working on a 5V version, though I haven't seen or heard any further. There are other reports that these devices will actually run fine from 5V, rather than 12V, logic levels, though I haven't tried this

How busy we are! it takes over 2 months to get first reply on my post... ;-) CPLD is good and for sure you can make bits registers there easily, but I have not seen any CPLD , which could manage 250v outputs and up to 1.5A total ground current ... I have got a few HV7022 samples and making

Just one other thing - if anyone DOES try running these current generation Supertex chips at 5V rather than 12V, it is very likely that they will only do so at a somewhat lower clock speed. Don't expect to pump 8MHz into them at these low voltages! LW On May 29, 10:13 pm, kosbo.com
