LM9022MX/NOPB

Display Drivers Overview

The LM9022MX/NOPB is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) filament driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed to provide regulated current for VFD filaments, ensuring stable display brightness and longevity. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 15V and delivers a constant output current of 1A. It features an internal reference and error amplifier to maintain precise current regulation despite input voltage fluctuations. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, suitable for surface-mount applications requiring reliable VFD power management.
