Digital inputs and outputs for your
most complicated digital applications
The L4450A can be used to simulate or
detect digital patterns. It has eight 8-bit
digital I/O channels with handshaking,
pattern memory, two 10 MHz counters
with gate functions, and a program-
mable clock output.
Digital input/output
The digital I/O bits are organized into
two banks of 32-bits. The I/O bits can
be configured and programmed as
inputs or outputs in 8-bit channels.
The digital outputs can be configured
as active drive or open drain outputs
with a user supplied 10 kΩ pull up. User
supplied pull-up resistors for up to 5 V
outputs are also acceptable. The digital
inputs have programmable thresholds
up to 5 V for compatibility with most
digital logic standards. The on-board
pattern memory can be used to select
and output digital stimulus or bit
stream patterns, or to capture external
digital data. Each bank has independent
memory and directional control so
that one bank can output data while
another captures data. The memory
can be divided up to 64 kbytes per 8-bit
channel.
The digital channels also have:
• Variable active high drive output
from 1.65 V to 5 V or open drain
• Variable input thresholds from 0 V
to 5 V
• Configurable handshaking protocols
including synchronous and strobe
• Programmable polarity
• Source or sink up to 24 mA
• Internal alarming for maskable pat-
tern match
• 1 hardware pattern interrupt per bank
External trigger capabilities make it
easy or you to time and synchronize
measurements and other events. This
can help you determine when to begin
or end an acquisition.
The memory can be allocated as follows:
