RE: MV-52
What voltage is output from pin 2 (on-off) and from pin 3 (pulse)?
Sounds like you could also refer to pins 2 and 3 as gate and trigger outputs, yes?
Thanks!

The pin output voltages are the same as the chip input voltage which can be anywhere from 2 - 5.5 volts DC. The schematics show 5 volts because that is what we always use in our prototypes.
Yes you could properly refer to pin 2 as a gate output and pin 3 as a trigger output.
It is important to keep in mind that the output from pin 2 switches on and off in time with the taps. In other words, the time it stays on is equal to the time between taps, and the time it stays off is equal to the time between taps (in real-time mode). If you need a full square wave cycle from pin 2 that is equal to the time between taps, you can ground pin 7, doubling the output frequency (1:2 mode).
It is also worth mentioning that the two outputs can be used simultaneously and sink or source 25mA each.
Please let me know if anything is unclear, and if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
