#183950 - RE:about filament
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Filament is warm wire with 2 ends ,inside VFD lamp.
It shold be somehow biased to anodes and grids.
So You have Vb=-20V bias.
Anodes and grids are connected by driver to VEE or to Vb .
So we have Vee=5V DC for driver logic and Vb=-20V for filament bias.
Vee-Vb=25V is Anode-Cathode voltage of VFD lamp.

This is Your circuit.
Not clear is - who powers filament. There are 3 possibilities:
- AC voltage from transformer,
- secondary negative Vb1 DC ouput, connected to second filament pin;
- independent DC source , connected to 2 pins of filament.

In last two cases You can regulate filament warmig trough PWM -
assuming VFD is dynamically controlled display at some frequency about 50..80 Hz,
PWM should be in 200..1000Hz range.
Is this Your case?
