2.2 Planning an application with PCD1/2/3 components
ThefollowingaspectsshouldbeconsideredwhenplanningPCD1/2applications:
● TheinternalloadcurrenttakenbytheI/Omodulesfromthe+5VandV+supply

● TheCPUtypedeterminesthemaximumnumberofmodules
● ThetotallengthoftheI/Obusislimitedbytechnicalfactors;theshorter,thebetter
When planning an application, we recommend the following procedure:
SelecttheI/Omodulesaccordingtorequirements.
Checkthatthenumberofmodulesisallowed:
