Figure 3-17:
Suppression diodes must be installed on outputs driving relays or other inductive devices. This protects the
outputs from damage caused by inductive spikes. Suppressor diodes, such as the 1N914, can be installed
on all outputs to provide protection. It is important that the diode be installed correctly (normally reversed
biased). See
Figure 3-17
for an example of a current sourcing output with diode suppression.
