Source mode — logic control
The digital outputs can be used as logic inputs to active TTL, low-power TTL, or CMOS
inputs. For this mode of operation, the output lines can source up to 200µA.

line is pulled high, the transistor will turn off (transistor switch open) to provide a reliable
logic high output (>3.75V). When the output line goes low, the transistor turns on (transis-
tor switch closed) to route current to digital ground. As a result, a low logic output (0V) is
provided at the output.
If the second input (B) of the NAND gate is connected to another output line of the port,
the output of the NAND gate will go to logic 0 when both digital outputs are set high.
