USB Powered IN-14 6-Tube Digit NIXIE Tube Clock V1.0.


IN-14 6-Tube Digit NIXIE Clock with acrylic enclosure
Brand new,I designed and made it by myself.

Notice:
In order to drive the NIXIE tube, some internal equipments are under the High Voltage(up to 180V DC),please do not use this clock outside or in any wet conditions,please do not touch any part inside the clock when power supply is turned on.Always keep it away from kids.

 

Specifications:

 

Tube Name: IN-14(Made in the U.S.S.R.)
Tube Diameter: 18mm;
Tube Height: 55mm (approx including glass nipple);
Digit Height: 17mm;
Digit Width: 10mm;

 

 

Clock Supply: 5V DC via MINI-USB;
Max Current: <=850mA;
Clock Size: 210mm (L)*56mm(W)*15mm(H)(*68mm(H)with IN-14 tube installed);
PCB Size: 186mm*45mm;
PCB Color: Black;
Weight: 218g;

 

The clock works with any standard USB supply,use only high-quality adapter!

 

Features:

 

1).5V Mini-USB powered, easy to be used. Can connect to your computer's USB plugs directly (*In some computers you may need to use the USB Cable that Have Two USB Connectors at the End.).

 

2).High efficiency circuit and separated HV supply structure make the Clock less heat and very safe. We use 7 individual small transformers to drive the 6 tubes and 4 middle dots, each provides 3mA Max HV power output only which is pretty safe than regular one HV DC-DC supply solution;

3).All SMT components, very thin PCB, only 8mm(max) high with the Top & Bottom components; Static driving, No Blue Dot, No Flashing, High Brightness;
4).Support 12H or 24H display modes, can show "." as "A/P" in 012H time format. Leading zero blanking is programmable.
5).Display date in all format: YY.MM.DD or DD.MM.YY or MM.DD.YY or even MM.YY.DD; Can display week info too.
6).Support 7 different Effects: Normal/ Fading/ Cross Fading/Slow Fading /Flash /Loop /Random Loop for displaying time. All the segments in the IN-14 tube can be lighted up, include the Left & right dots;
7).High accuracy RTC inside, factory calibrated to ± 5ppm,±13 seconds (Max)per month.
8).Simple setting by using 3 buttons only and supports IR remote control (optional).
9).Three alarms with weekends ON/OFF support can be controlled individually.
10).Three programmable Auto Power ON/OFF mode, can turn ON/OFF NIXIE tubes in any time you want. This function can save tubes life.
11).8-level adjustable NIXIE tube bright with Auto-brightness feature (its ability to adjust the tube brightness depending on the current environment).
12).Rechargeable Backup Battery or
Faradcapacitorkeeps RTC running during power outages.
13).Tri-colored RGB LED mounted under the each NIXIE tube. These LEDs can display different colors at the same time, with a lot of pre-defined auto colour change effects.
14).Store user settings in non-volatile memory.
15).Beautiful CAD designed acrylic case made using a laser cutter makes the clock look beautiful. You can assemble/disassemble the case by using only 4 screws on the bottom of the case. The case also has 4 bumpers as feet on the bottom of the case in order to stop to prevent case's damage.
16).Can install Temperature Sensor(optional) ;Can install 433M wireless module(optional) for receiving the outside info, like the wireless temperature sensor's data and the GPS time sync data, etc.

    Safe?Set the Greinacher circuit on the clock?I think you are kidding the whole time.

    First we are not sure about what is wrong with "the Greinacher circuit"?And what is "the Greinacher circuit" involved with this clock.I know some of your designs are still staying in the MC34063 based DC-DC level,and need at least 9V~12V DC adapter.I totally understand your jealousy. :-)
    Second,we have test the circuit and created it out in front of you and sold out a lot of it,and we also have tried to get the "electric shock" by using the finger ourself,because of our HV current has the current limit design,just can fell a little bit shock like bit by an ant,if you tried to touch other design like using one DC-DC convert,you will know how safe our design is.
    So if you have any other kidding stuffs to show in front of people,shows us more,PLS.

    And by the way,we just wanna notice that in the New V1.1,we will add the "Wireless GSP function" for this clock and we also have improved the HV part into even more higher efficiency,the clock describe will be changed from "Less Heat" to "Almost no heat",the input current will improve everthing.
    And also thanks for your comment.
    Best regards.
    :-)
