The famous IC 7441 was designed to drive numerical and simbolical vacuum tubes, also said NIXIE tubes, during 1960s.
In the following decade comes on the market the ruggedized model 74141.
As long as 1980s and first years of '90s this IC was produced in great quanities to overcome to large request for clocks and devices that use vacuum displays.
With the invasion of liquid crystal displays, acronym of LCD, these ICs became obsolete and discountinued.
But nixie clocks lovers continued to build clocks and devices with vacuum tubes making prices very high of NOS ICs fino a portarli a prezzi stellari, and worst, making this IC hard to find.
Over a few rare cases, you can find NOS ones manufactured in Russia under designation K155ID1 (K155ИД1), but it is anyway an 20 years old, and over, production without any kind of guarantee. Do you know how it was stocked along these years?
Here comes the news!
Due to URSS policy, some areas of est europe remained out of technological development, and same factories keeped their old plants along years to nowdays.
Integral Radio acquired one of these plants in est europe that produced semiconductors for famous names like Philips, Siemens etcetera during 70-80 years, and started production in 2016 this model of IC.
We are pleased to announce we are the first italian importer to propose thsi new article.
Remember, this is NOT a low quality chinese clone but this is a MADE IN EU one!!!
