GPI (General Purpose Interface)
GPI Input Specifications
A 25-pin, male D-Sub connector provides a total of 8 General
Purpose Interface (GPI) Inputs.
• Inputs are logic inputs with pull-ups. They may be driven by
logic outputs or contact closure to ground.
• Input signal range is 0 to 5.5V. The inputs are ESD protected.
• Input signaling uses standard TTL logic levels: 0.8V or less
for a logic low. 2.0V or greater for a logic high.
• Inputs are compatible with 5V TTL (e.g. 74LS series), 5V
CMOS (e.g. 74HC series), 3.3V CMOS (e.g. 74LVC series)
• Inputs provide an internal 5K ohm pull-up to +5V.
• All Inputs are referenced to the same internal ground,
which is connected to AC safety ground.
