Nixie Tubes
What are pixie's and nixie's..part two...?
What are pixie's and nixie's..and what IC'S could drive them.
and what is striking voltage....?
I feel that the community chose the wrong answer to this question especially about IC's..
please dig deeper..
what IC's drove nixie tubes.....?..then you will understand..
not bad Edesigner..now name an ic that could drive a gn4-a nixie...5 stars involved---striking voltage 180 v
Pixies were actually vacuum tubes with a sort of base that allowed the pins to heat an element to a reddish glow and represent a number..oh they were state of the art in 1960 but in 1960 nobody even heard of an integrated ckt...They were driven by switching transistors with gate characteristics like the ECG123a,,,There were tons of power transistors and you could just go wild..However due to the current requirement an IC would need a pony ckt to carry the input (high amp) to the pixie ,,,if you have a bunch of these they are rather collectible i might add don't toss em out till you check,,,,,they were cute 1" high was a big one and 1/2" was pretty common...I had a Wang 3000 that had accuracy to 12 digits ..I used it to do truncated prismoidal formulas on earth cut fill projects...Pretty fancy for 1968 i must say...Also it was as bi as a suitcase...now i have a ti-89 fits in my pocket..don't we all love progress...Well that's what a Pixie was....Good luck from the E...
