Plenty of TIL311 ICs on hand (one of my favorites!), but a bit different
from the 306/307s you seek.
I have the 311
datasheets if you care to investigate the necessary
'tanslation' work.

The 306/307s also have built in BCD decoders. I've been trying to find a
data sheet on the 311 so that I can see what the difference is between it
and the 306/307.

Oops, I have TIL311s, not the 306. I was thinking that the 311s were still
in production. I guess the 311 with a built-in BCD controller must still
be useful in current products. On Tue, 31 Dec 2002, Joe wrote:
Are they? I think mine are about 25 years old. FWIW I went looking for
some at a large local surplus store and found one that I think is
prototype. It's built out of clear material instead of red and is marked
TIXL306 and is date coded 7204 (almost 31 years old!). I went through
several boxs and THOUSANDs of displays and only found one standard 306
and the one prototype.
Does anyone know of another display that can be
substituted for the
TIL 306/307? Here is a data sheet for the 306/307 in case you have a
question about it, <www.alltronics.com/download/TIL306.pdf>.
I don't know of an exact replacement offhand, but I thought these were
still in production? How many of these displays are you looking for? I
believe I still have
a few in my parts bin...
In addition to the one that I found in the store I need three of them.
Mine were in sockets and the dissimilar metal corrosion has eaten off at
least one leg off of each of mine.
