Digital Pulsed Outputs (DPO)
Digital Pulsed Outputs are capable of producing
pulsed waveforms with varying duty and
frequency.
When a Digital Pulsed Output is activated by the
ECU the output will switch to ground.
The pull-up voltage specifies the waveforms
maximum voltage output eg 0 to 12V or 0 to 5V.
DPOs can be used to control various low-
current devices such as shift lights, bypass
air control valves, boost control solenoids,
tachometers etc.
Specs:
• Individual software-selectable 12V or 5V
4k7 pull-up
• Flyback protected
• Capable of switching 3A to ground
• 10kHz switching speed
• Automatic overcurrent protection
• 0 to 27V voltage feedback
Half Bridge Outputs (HBO)
Half Bridge Outputs are push-pull pulse width
modulated (PWM) outputs. If not being used as
push-pull drivers, Half Bridge Outputs can be
used as generic high/low PWM outputs capable
of sinking 8A to ground and driving 8A to 12V at
2.2kHz.
HBOs can be used to control any push-pull type
device such as DBW throttle motors (max of 2
wired separately) and stepper motors.
When used as generic high/low switched or
PWM outputs, Half Bridge Outputs can be
used as generic low-side DPOs or to control
devices such as high-side driven solenoids (e.g.
VTEC Solenoids), high side switched automatic
transmission solenoids etc.
Specs:
• Capable of sinking 8A to ground and
driving 8A to 12V
• Automatic Overcurrent and
Overtemperature Protection
• 0 to 27V voltage feedback
• High side current feedback
• 18kHz switching speed in DBW mode
• Capable of 0-100% duty cycle

Ensure the High Current Output (8A or 25A)
used to power solenoids and other devices is
capable of supplying the required current.
