I have a Vacuum Fluorescent Display I want to use. Part of the fun of using such things is controlling 40-60 volts from a microcontroller of some sort.
I have another display on a driver board. That board uses several UDN6118A to control the high voltage with TTL level voltages. It's a simple 20-pin chip. It just requires GND and the high voltage, then it takes eight TTL inputs and converts them to the high voltage outputs.
...but, I can't find a 6118 anywhere. In trying to find something similar, all I can find is a surface mount chip that loads the data serially. I'd rather not use that both because it is surface mount and because of the serial data transfer.
Does anyone know of something similar to the 6118 and where I can get it without having to order a large quantity?
