5V Ready-HV5WAC-E New HV NIXIE module with DC+AC output

NEW-[HV5WAC-E]-Smaller HV5W with DC+AC output HIGH VOLTAGE NIXIE POWER SUPPLY MODULE PSU-NIXIE TUBE ERA
Same Like Normal HV5W module but with an extra HV DC2AC convert circuit inside it.Now can output not only HVDC but HVAC for driving the neon lamps(To light two pins up inside the neon lamps).

 

We recomment using this module for driving 6tube IN-14(or in12 etc.) +4pcs neon lamps as middle colons  or Driving 3tube IN-18 nixie tubes+2pcs neon lamps (thus for 6tube IN-18 nixie clock ,u need two of this module),the +HV DC output is for driving Nixie tubes and AC1+AC2 HV output is for driving Neon lamps as middle colon,thus two pins inside neon lamps all can be light up because of we are using AC HV to drive it.

1.In SMD type,only one side of the PCB contains equipments,very thin.Half holes for soldering on PCB as a PSU module on board,also contains Full Round Holes for users to add Male/Female Pins as a plug-in module.
2.Please note that the
EN-HV and EN-AC pin in this SMD module is not a optional pin,please connect it with a MCU GPIO to control it or directly connect to +3V3/+5V to turn the Module power on;

 

DANGER! Lethal Potentials Present
THIS MODULE CONTAINS DANGEROUS, HIGH VOLTAGE POTENTIALS. USE CAUTION.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE MODULE WHEN IT IS WORKING.

 

Tips:
1. Standard 0.1"(2.54mm) pins and SMD half holes, easy to be used, can use bread board or DuPont-Wires etc.
2. Please control the input current <=800mA for the low heat working state;
3. Module contains over current protection+soft boot-up. When over heat, the module will turn off, you need to re-power on to reset the module; 
4.
We recommend working under 5V only,no over 6V.
5. More stable HV output, even for the heavy loader, the max output voltage only get a little bit drop;
6. If one module's power is not suited for your app,use two or more modules for driving the separated NIXIE tube(s) group,etc.;
7. Do
not connect the modules' outputs in "Parallel Connection"!!!Do not Connect The +HV putput pins with AC1/AC2 pins, do not short HV And AC1/AC2 pins!!!

 

Description:
HV5WAC-E is a newly designed high voltage module, it works under 5V USB power, with ~170V DC output via +HV pin and HV AC output via AC1+AC2 pins,(especially designed for driving the NIXIE tubes. The max power output is enough for lighting up 8PCS IN-14 NIXIE tubes(Or 4PCS IN-18 with all segment "8" been light up) + 4PCS NE-2 neon bulbs. Low EMI and with No audible noise.
It contains an ENABLE pin to turn the module on/off, and can be controlled by an regular logic signal, like a MCU's GPIO PIN(3V3 or 5V MCUs are all fine).

Pin Functions

 

ID

Name

Description

0

Vcc/+5V

Input supply voltage, 4.5V to 12V.(Recommend 5V only, no over 6V)

1

EN-HV

Enable pin for turning the +HV output ON/OFF
(Must be connected with the GPIO or connect to Hi level to turn it power on)

2

EN-AC

Enable pin for turing the AC1+AC2 output ON/OFF(The EN-HV pinmust be on first)

3

GND

Ground

4,6

AC1+AC2

High voltage AC output ;~170V (+-10%)

5

HV

High voltage DC output. +170V(+-5%)

 


*EN pin can be controlled by MCU GPIO[
*3V3 or 5V MCUs are all fine]) directly,no need to add resistor in serial.

 

For 24*7 continually working condition, we recommend you control the input current less than 800mA when under 5V in, it keeps this module working under the low heat condition.

 

And this module is also suite for driving 6 tubes IN-18 clock, you just need to use two modules for driving it. Each module can drive 3PCS IN-18 tubes + 2PCS NE-2 neon bulbs (as dots) with no problem.

 

Typical Usage:
For driving NIXIE Tubes;

When under heavy loader,eg:output over 18mA,under 24*7 condition,the Max temperature of the transformer is about: Room temperature+20;Other parts get almost no heat.
