  • 10K pull-up on input
  • Card is non-inverting
  • 1.5V-5.5V power
    • Typically 3.3V or 5V
  • 3-pin right angle 0.1" pitch input connector
  • (4) 4-40 mounting holes

Driver

  • 5x paralleled 74AC14 drivers
    • 24mA per pin max current output
      • Symmetric high-low drive levels
    • Short-circuit proof
      • 5V, 250 Ohms to ground is 20 mA (pins are rated for 24 mA)
      • 0.125 W resistor (5V output through 249 ohm resistor with output shorted to ground is 0.1 W)
      • 3.3V, 250 Ohms to ground is 13.2 mA (pins are rated for 24 mA)
      • 0.125 W resistor (3.3V output through 249 ohm resistor with output shorted to ground is 0.044 W)
