Current Waveforms

Figure 29 - Figure 31 show typical current signature for the decode engine (USB version) in various operating modes.

Note: The next three waveforms are shown with VIN = 3.3V and the output signals nBeeper and nGoodRead are pulled high externally through 10K resistors. Thus, these waveforms only account for the current drawn by the IS4920 circuitry and does not show additional current required for driving the LED or Beeper.

The IS4920 series engines do not have current limiting fuses. Care must be taken on the host side to prevent against over current conditions that could potential damage the host system.
