C-bus extender
The P82B715 has a static sink rating of 30 mA at Lx. The requirement is that the pull-up
on the buffered bus, in parallel with all other pull-ups that it is indirectly pulling LOW on Sx
pins of other P82B715 ICs, will not cause this 30 mA limit to be exceeded.
The minimum pull-up resistance in a 5 V ± 10 % system is 170 Ω.
The general requirement is given in Equation 2:

Where: R
PU
= parallel combination of all pull-up resistors driven by the Lx pin of the
P82B715.
