We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "VFD", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release PSU controller targets automotive displays from Allegro MicroSystems Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Automotive-grade quasiresonant discontinuous flyback convertor control IC provides all the necessary control functions for driving a vacuum fluorescent display". A few weeks before, we featured the news release VFD is bright idea for graphics from Review Display Systems: "The latest compact vacuum fluorescent graphics display from Futaba has been designed with high brightness and ease of connectivity in mind".
In September 2006, we covered the news from Amrel/American Reliance concerning its Power SPD - take a look at Supplies test with micro resolution which says: "Amrel/American Reliance has released what it claims to be the industry's first dual-channel switch-mode power supply under 600W".
Take a look also at the news release from Amrel/American Reliance, Impedance analyser complements electronic loads, as well as Budget MCUs come with development support from NFS Systems, and Anachip fills a large niche for Symmetry from Symmetry Electronics.
