5.10 Digital output
This digital output is activated by an open drain MOSFET transistor driven by an optocoupler. The maximum
current flow into this transistor has a characteristic above the value specified in the eWON, in order to cope
with the switching power losses. The transistor used is in an open drain type with pre drive. This means the
relay power supply has to be supplied from an external source to the pre drive electronics.
The diagram below shows the external wiring needed for correct operation of the digital output. A relay has
been chosen for this sample application but any load within the specifications can be used instead.
Warning: note that this is a sink only output to ground (the transistor acts like a switch to ground).
