Thanks again. So with two level shifters available and two open pins on the 1284P, which two of three lines, CLK, DATA, and LE, would be best to separate? From your description, are you saying that CLK and DATA are the two best separated? On Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 12:30:45 PM UTC-4,

There's no need to separate *both* CLK and DATA. If you have separate data lines and CLK everything at the same time, you've basically shortened the length of the serial data chain, and you're loading them in parallel. This will give you the fastest load-time. On the other hand, if you split

So to be clear, if you split the CLK lines into CLKA and CLKB, the serial data will go into the first HV5530. The first, third, fifth, etc HV5530's would use CLKA. The second, fourth, etc HV5530's would use CLKB. The DATA_OUT of the first HV5530 goes to the DATA_IN of the second HV5530, etc.

There seems to be a never ending supply of these tubes. Is it possible, there were tens of thousands of these in surplus? Make me wonder if they're still being produced somewhere in the old Soviet Union. On Monday, October 19, 2015 at 4:58:20 PM UTC-4, Yuriy Ovchinnikov wrote: > > Sale:

Make sure you research the date-codes; I've seen others in this group mention IN-18 tubes from late 1970's and early 1980's are not as reliable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving
