z Countermeasure 2
Mount a limiting resistor.
When I/O power is supplied from the NX bus, the method is as shown in the following figure.
When I/O power is supplied from an external source, the method is as shown in the following figure.
In countermeasure 1, the current consumption from I/O power supply is increased although the voltage 
supplied to the load L is not decreased.
In countermeasure 2, the voltage supplied to the load L is decreased although the current consumption 
from I/O power supply is not increased.
Select the appropriate countermeasures according to the operating conditions.
