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...
