3.2.2.1 Configurable High-Power Output (HV3)

HV3, shown schematically in Figure 7, is factory-configured to be a sourcing output.

Figure 7. Configurable High-Current Output

When used as a sourcing output, HV3 is switched to K when PE3 on the Rabbit 2000 goes high, and the two transistors shown in Figure 7 are turned on. The maximum sourcing cur- rent is 100 mA (BL1810 and BL1820) or 500 mA (BL1800), and the maximum K is 30 V. This voltage limit on K arises because R51 and R52 at the base of Q28 can each dissipate 500 mW for a total of 1 W. The 30 V limit then constrains the sinking outputs as well because K is common to all four high-current outputs.
