The open-collector outputs require the use of an external resistor properly sized to limit current to a value
Figure 16: Connection diagram of the open-collector electrical outputs
To scale the resistor use the relationship:
Where V
c
is the external voltage to be switched by the open-collector output.
The resistor power should be adequate for the voltage and current values to be switched, i.e.
Do not connect the open-collector electrical outputs without an external resistor properly sized or another
appropriate mechanism to limit current.
