Specification
DC Supply
Continuous Voltage Rating8 V to 35 V DC continuous
Cranking Dropouts Able to survive 0 V for 100 mS, providing supply was at least 10 V before dropout and supply recovers to 5 V. This is achieved without the need for internal batteries. LEDs and backlight will not be maintained during cranking.
