Hi folks
I have just purchased a beautiful array of 4 Nixie Tubes (plus a + - sign tube), made by Burroughs in England in the 70s.
eBay auction: #263425391032The main reason for my purchase, other than the incredibly low price, was, that the tubes all come with individual BCD Decoder/Driver circuitry, built into a handy socket with a housing.
I found the corresponding datasheet online and generally got a good grasp, of what's needed to drive these beauties, but It would be awesome if someone else could take a look at the datasheet and confirm/correct my plan of attack, because these decoder/driver Sockets are basically not replaceable.
I have several Question in particular:
How do i drive the decimal point? I didn't understand the section about it's driver requirements.
What does "Cycle time : 200ns" right above the decimal point requiremnts mean?
Do I have to pulse the BCD signal?
I have attached the datasheet, aswell as my drawing of my current understanding (good english)
I wan't to thank anyone who can help me, already in advance
