Adding Power Filters
Caution If you are modifying the power filter, do not draw ≥100 mA from the +5 V
power line.
A 470 Ω series resistor (R21) is part of the power filter for the +5 V power on the SCB-68A.
Due to the nature of the filter design, as the filtered +5 V is loaded, the voltage supplied to the
SCB-68A circuitry and screw terminal 8 decreases. Pad R20, shown in Figure 1-2, SCB-68A
Printed Circuit Board Diagram, is in parallel with R21. You can install a resistor, if needed, to
decrease the overall resistance used in the filter and reduce the loading effect. However,
completely shorting R20 bypasses the filter while capacitively coupling D GND to AI GND and
AO GND and is not recommended.
