4.19 Buttons interface
The MUX5(E) board can interface with 16 illuminated pushbuttons via a brown 13-way
BUTTONS connector having a keyway at pin position 11.
The interface's lamps and switches are each wired into a 2 x 8 matrix as shown in Fig. 29.
The diode in the switch input line protects the transistor against +34V which might appear on
the line under certain fault conditions.
