Hi folks-
Hoping I can get some assistance with driving an IV-1 VFD (dot dash) tube. I have still not gotten around to building VFD circuits on my own from scratch (I've built a few kits), so do not have a great handle on this. I've tried to muddle through the Russian datasheet but have not fully translated it.
I figure someone here must be familiar with these for separators in VFD clocks.
Let me start with pinouts. If I am reading the datasheet correctly, I believe:
Pins 1,8 are the filament
Pins 2,3,4,5,6,9,11,12,14 are not connected. Does this mean they are literally not connected, and are just there for physical support or can be clipped?
Pin 7 is the grid
Pin 10 is the dash (anode)
Pin 13 is the dot (anode)
Assuming I have gotten this far without an error, can someone confirm these voltages? I may be really off on what I am assuming is what, since I have not fully translated this.
Pin 1- 0V (ground)
Pin 8- 0.85V
Pin 7 - 20V
Pins 10,13 20V
I am unsure how to read the current limits on the datasheet.
Apologies in advance on any ignorance or mistakes, and thanks for any help.
Best,
Dylan
