Notes (cont.):
4. Omit C18, C28, C38, and spark gaps if the node is floating.
5. The delay through the OR and NOR gates must be less than 300ns. The inputs and outputs must be
CMOS compatible.
6. This method can be extended to build an N-way repeater. The LPT-10 transceiver can power at most a
5-way repeater; above this number, use FTT-10 transceivers and an external power source.
