High Voltage Segment Driver IC – 8-Channel Display Control

Reliable High Voltage Display Driver for Gas Discharge Tubes and More

The NTE2030 is a high voltage segment driver integrated circuit engineered for direct control of up to eight display segments in applications such as gas discharge or vacuum fluorescent displays. Designed to bridge low-level digital logic and high voltage display requirements, this IC provides robust, consistent performance tailored to demanding display systems.

Key Features

• Eight open-collector output channels with high voltage capability, ideal for complex display matrices
• Designed for high voltage segment driver applications, providing reliable switching and long service life
• Active-high logic inputs for straightforward interfacing with standard control circuitry
• Precision-matched output stages for consistent segment illumination
• Packaged as a through-hole device for secure PCB mounting and efficient thermal dissipation

Technical Data

• Configuration: Integrated 8-segment driver IC
• Input Logic: Active High
• Package: Through hole (Single package IC)
• Part Number Reference: NTE2030
• Quantity Per Package: 1

Typical Applications

• Gas discharge display drive
• High voltage segment driver for instrument panels
