Figure 2.14. IRIG-B input
The input circuit is a 390 Ω serial resistance with an
optoacoplator; for a 5 V signal, the approximate consumption
is 10 mA.
The number of units that can be connected in parallel to
a generator depends on its capacity of supplying output
current; a typical value could be 70 mA, so 6 units could be
connected, (although the length and the type of wire can
also inuence). The wire must be shielded and twisted.
