    32 Bit TTL Input - 470010           Back to 470
    This card reads 32 bits of input TTL data as two groups of 16 bits each. A Hold output signal handshakes with the device being read. Hold is a 10 mS pulse of selectable polarity asserted when either 16-bit group is to be read. This feature is especially useful when reading digitally-coded levels from a counter, DVM, clock, etc., which, if read in it's transitional state, would result in ambiguous data.
    An Enable input allows the user to decide when to update the card’s input register. All inputs and outputs interface with either standard or low power TTL logic. Jumper wires select positive true or negative true logic levels.

    Specifications:

    Inputs:               High-Level Input Voltage: 2.0 V min; 5.0 V max

    Two-Channel Frequency or Period Input-470012         Back to 470
    The Two-Channel Frequency or Period Input card accommodates inputs from tachometers, flowmeters, or other frequency-related devices. Frequency or period measurements or straight event counting are selectable by switches on the card.

    For flexibility, each channel accepts two types of inputs. One set of input terminals, for TTL logic levels, is optically coupled. The other input is intended for use with signal levels that vary with frequency. An event zero-crossing detector accepts inputs from ± 200 mV to ± 100 V at frequencies to 100 KHz.

    A crystal-controlled clock provides accurate time bases for measurements on both channels while each channel has its own 32K counter. After each measurement, the counter is reset. Frequency measurement involves counting the number of input pulses occurring between clock pulses.

    32-Bit TTL Output--470030        Back to 470
    The 32-Bit TTL Output card provides two 16-bit outputs for driving TTL-compatible loads or other loads not exceeding output capability (30 V maximum; 40 mA maximum). Dual-rank registers permit the simultaneous updating of all outputs.

    All outputs are open-collector gates with pull-up resistors to the internal 5 V supply for driving standard TTL or 5 V CMOS loads. Placement of a jumper permits use of an external voltage source up to 28 V. Outputs can then interface to high voltage CMOS logic or be used to drive relay coils, lamps, or other loads not exceeding 40 mA.

    Output polarity of each group of eight outputs is determined by jumper placement. This allows the user to arrange logic polarity to any desired power-up/reset condition required by the application.
