Grumpy_Mike:
Where on that site is a schematic so we can tell what we are dealing with, as I said a link would be good.
Grumpy_Mike:
Where are you getting this information about 70V being the minimum you can get from the driver, it is not what the 74141 gives.
It's a direct multimeter measurement from my 170V source to one the driver pins in its 'off' state. This is without the bulb or the resistors connected.
Grumpy_Mike:
Do you understand the fundamentals of neon lamps?
Not in depth, but I know that the 'off' state from the driver IC isn't dropping current enough to shut all the bulbs back off, which is what I want it to do. (Some do go off, but some don't.)
Since I don't have control of that leakage current, I'm trying to figure out what else could be done about it.
Thanks for the continued help.
