The FlySky receiver operates within a voltage range of 4.0 to 8.4 VDC.
Understanding the FlySky Receiver's Operating Voltage
The operating voltage is a critical specification for any electronic component, dictating the safe and effective power input it requires. For the FlySky receiver, particularly models like the FS-iA6B, this range ensures compatibility with common power sources found in remote control (RC) applications.
The operating voltage of the FlySky receiver is specifically 4.0 to 8.4 VDC. This wide voltage window offers significant flexibility, allowing the receiver to be powered by various battery types and power regulation systems. For instance, it can safely operate with:
- 1S LiPo Batteries: While a 1S LiPo has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, when fully charged, it can reach approximately 4.2V, which falls within the safe operating range.
- 2S LiPo Batteries: A 2S LiPo battery, with a nominal voltage of 7.4V and a full charge voltage of 8.4V, is perfectly suited to power this receiver directly.
- Regulated Power Supplies: Many RC setups use Battery Eliminator Circuits (BECs) or voltage regulators to provide a stable 5V or 6V supply, both of which are well within the receiver's acceptable voltage limits.

Features and Applications
Beyond its flexible operating voltage, the FlySky receiver is designed with features that enhance its performance and versatility in RC models:
- 2.4 GHz RF Technology: It utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a standard in modern RC systems. This band offers excellent interference resistance and reliable signal transmission for robust control.
- 6 Channels: With six available channels, the receiver can control multiple functions simultaneously, making it ideal for a variety of RC aircraft (planes, helicopters, drones) and surface vehicles that require independent control over servos, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), and other accessories.
- PPM Output: The inclusion of a PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) output simplifies wiring to compatible flight controllers. Instead of multiple individual wires for each channel, PPM allows all channel data to be transmitted over a single signal wire, reducing complexity and weight.
- iBus Port: Equipped with an iBus port, the receiver supports FlySky's digital serial bus protocol. This advanced feature enables faster, more reliable communication between the receiver and flight controller or other peripherals, often supporting telemetry data transmission for real-time monitoring of aircraft parameters.
Understanding these specifications ensures proper integration and operation of the FlySky receiver within your RC system, contributing to a safe and enjoyable hobby experience.
