Hi
Can you confirm what the maximum output current is on a single transistor output?
On the specification sheet table it is quoted as +/-500mA each channel with a total of +/-1.75A for all channels
Under 'Maximum rating' it says Transistor Outputs (A,B,C,D) +-1.75A, which I would interpret as 1.75A per channel.
If I want to drive more than what a single channel can cope with, it is alright to connect channels together?

Re: MIAC transistor output current
Hi Dave,
You are limited to 500mA per channel and 1.75A total.
Theoretically you could parallel outputs, but I would advise against it, due to the fact that each output can sink or source current. Hence short circuit glitches would occur if not switched to the same polarity at exactly the same time.
