Page 11: ... this The MN3205 v3205 and BL3208B require power on pin 5 and ground on pin 1 Setting these jumpers also changes whether the output resistors on the BBD pins 3 and 4 are pull up or pull down Again these will be different between the two groups of devices NOTE If you build the ABDX for one type of device and then later put in a different type you may have to switch the jumpers and or the voltage su...

Page 12: ...2 for the MN3008 If you are running the ABDX at 15v regulated then you should plan ahead how you will accomplish this You can use a Road Rage PCB to use a 9v supply to generate 15v regulated using the LT1054 chip or use an 18v adaptor then run it through a 15v regulator 220 type Consult the Road Rage documentation for more info on using a charge pump To regulate an 18v supply this method is sugges...
