The switching voltage regulator is used when there is a need for an additional range in the external input voltage or when lower power consumption is desired. The input voltage range is from 8 V to 40 V.
Figure C-3 shows typical power operating curves for both the linear regulator (BL1810 and BL1820) and the switching regulator (BL1800) for a nonloaded Jackrabbit operating at 14.74 MHz with the programming cable connected.
