| (...) The RIS 1.0 can be run from either 12VAC or 12VDC. In either case an internal bridge rectifier supplies the internal circuitry with the proper polarity. Internal power is supplied through an LM2936M 5V regulator (maximum input of 45V BTW) The (...) (24 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
