Anode power supply for VFD display ( 5v to 80v stepper PSU )
For my next project (another VFD clock
, I need a small variable PSU. The main issue with the VFD display, is the power supply. In fact you need 2 differents PSU:
I already have done several nixie PSU, but this time I want to build something small (doesn’t cost a lot) with really common parts. I decided to look at smaller mosfet, and I found the BS107 .. small TO92 package and 200v
Here the schematic:
With this simple stuff, and a little microcontroler, you can step the output easily. You can use a 220uH inductor with a 5v VCC, or a smaller one 100uH if you have a PSU between 6v to 15v.

- a variable 20 to 75v for anodes..
