------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAX6921 Shift Register ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a capture of data output to a MAX6921 high voltage shift register that was outputting data for a VFD clock. The signals were grabbed on a 28-pin PLCC chip (MAX6921) which outputs 20-bits that is crafted as a design for VFD applications. Logic analyzer setup -------------------- The logic analyzer used was Open Bench Logic Sniffer (at 10Mhz): Probe MAX6921 Pin -------------------------- 0 LOAD 1 DATA 2 CLK 3 BLANK (PWM Brightness Control) Data ---- The data contain various values for the VFD being driven, as reference at the prototype Nixie Cape for the Beaglebone.
