Inputs The following shows a typical active-high digital input connection: Internal to product Application Switch Active High Digital Input Battery Figure 3: Active high digital input Active low input The active-low input must be connected to ground to ensure there is a ground connection when the state of the input changes.
Inputs 3.1.2. Power Control Digital Inputs Any of the programmable digital inputs, INPUT1_D through INPUT8_D, may be configured as power control inputs. Power control inputs generate an internal signal in the module allowing it to “wake up” and turn on its main internal power supply. This wakes up the main processor and allows ladder logic to process.
Inputs For example, assume input 2 is programmed active high and power control and the wire harness has an active high dash switch connected to this input. Now assume we change the active state of this input from high to low and download this new logic to the module.

Page 31
Inputs 3.3.3.2. DC-Coupled Frequency Configuration Options Multi-purpose inputs used as frequency inputs allow a periodic waveform with frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 10 kHz to be read as a frequency value. An internal pull-up resistor value of approximately 3.3 k can be turned on or off for this input type.
Page 32
Inputs To reduce ground level shift: If there are more than 1 GND pins in the system, dedicate one of them to sensors that have ground wires, and connect all sensor grounds to that system ground pin. Splice the other system ground inputs together in the vehicle harness (close to the connector), to provide a better ground for the noisier low-side outputs and digital circuits.

Outputs 4.3. High-Side Output Diagnostics and Fault Detection Each high-side output has the ability to report many different fault conditions. The types of faults that are reported are determined by the configuration of your high-side outputs, and this configuration must be considered when writing the application software.
Outputs This detection is programmable on or off on a module by module basis. If programmed as on for the module, the detection process is programmable as active only at power up, or as active on a periodic basis with adjustable time between checks.
Power 5. Power The VMM1210 is powered by the vehicle battery. The VMM1210 operates in a 12 V or 24 V system, and can operate from 7 V up to 32 V, with over-voltage protection at 36 V. The various pins on the connectors are used for different types of power, as detailed in the following sections.
Power 5.1.2. Logic and Output Power Connections When connecting the VMM1210 logic power, note that Logic power connections are made using the VBATT_LOGIC and GND pins. The VMM1210 is protected against reverse-battery connections by an internal high-current conduction path that goes from ground to power. To protect the VMM1210 from damage in a reverse-battery condition, place a fuse of 1 A or less in series with the power wires in the application harness.
Page 47
Power There are two pins on each of J3 and J4, these are internally connected on the VMM1210. Both pins on J3 and/or J4 need to be connected if the current flowing through an individual busbar exceeds 20A. It is recommended that the busbar power wires be kept on a dedicated high current power connection point, isolated from the logic power wires where possible.

Application Examples 10.5.2. Variable Resistance Variable resistance sensors change impedance to represent it's measured value, and are compatible with analog inputs. Variable resistance sensors are typically used in thermal and pressure applications. They work by changing the voltage reading on the sensor according to changes in pressure or temperature in the application.
Application Examples 10.5.3. Variable Reluctance Variable reluctance sensors are typically used in frequency measurement applications, and are compatible with AC-coupled frequency inputs. Variable reluctance sensors do not require power (the power is induced), and they create frequency by out-putting a sine wave type signal. They work by using an increase or decrease in a magnetic field to detect the proximity of a part or device.
Application Examples The following shows a typical sensor switch connection: Internal to product Battery voltage Switch Digital Input Figure 34: Switch sensor connection 10.5.5. Voltage Voltage type sensors work by driving an analog voltage signal to report the sensor's measured value. Voltage sensors are compatible with analog inputs, and are typically used in applications that require variable voltage measurements.
Application Examples The following shows a typical voltage sensor connection: Internal to product Voltage Sensor Analog Input Figure 35: Voltage sensor connection 10.5.6. CMOS A sensor with a CMOS-type output drives a high and low signal, and is typically used in digital and frequency applications, and therefore, CMOS sensors can be wired directly to digital and frequency inputs.
Application Examples 10.5.7. Potentiometer (Ratiometric) Potentiometers and other ratiometric type sensors can be wired directly to analog inputs. Potentiometers are resistive devices that use a wiper arm to create a voltage divider. Changes to resistive measurements happen as the wiper arm moves along a resistive element.
