Depletion mode.the last time I did any work with that kind of device was in college, and even then it was circuit-design/simulation rather than real hardware. Unless you include vacuum tubes; I actually did play around with those in high school back in the '70's. I've stuck with enhancement

Thank you for the description, now I understand how it works. Have you considered using depletion mode mosfets as current regulators? The IXYS (Microchip) IXCY10M45S (450V) or IXCY10M90S (900V) are sometimes used as either a pass element before a LDO regulator or as a CCS in audio amplifier des

The voltage is not regulated, but it is adjustable via a variac. Nixies really dont need regulated voltage; it's the current that controls the brightness. Many common sources of light (incandescent, LED) operate the same way. The 500V current-limiter (right-half of regulator.ps) uses a non-prec

Can you include larger schematics files, I can't read all of the text in the ones you already put here. I can't see how the constant current design is working, probably because I can't see the text in the schematic or perhaps because I can't see all components since I couldn't find the wiring d
