Power on Reset
Power on Reset/Soft Reset of EMX-7519 brings the ports to a default state as in Table 2-10.
Model
EMX-7519
Voltage Configuration
When the card is reset, no Voltage will be selected at the ports and data in output registers are
set to FF.
A ports output register data is set to FF for any voltage configuration. Only concerned port is
affected.
Polarity settings are applicable in EMX-7519. On output channels, changing the polarity flips the
state of data lines and further writes are done according to polarity selection (for example, if
polarity is configured as reversed then writing 1 to a channel writes a 0 to it and vice versa).

Configuration Section

This section of circuit is used to select reference voltage (V
programmatically controlled switches that let the user select a voltage from 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, 24 V
and User supplied voltage, which can be anywhere from 3.3 V to 60 V. In addition, LV and TTL
emulation modes can be selected which use 3.3 V and 5 V as V
impedance pull-up resistor in the path to source 4 mA.

Output Section

The output section of each channel consists of an N-channel MOSFET, pull-up resistors and over
current sense circuitry. When a 1 is driven on channel, the MOSFET is turned off and data line is
pulled-up to V
emulation and 100 kΩ otherwise). The rising voltage level at data channel exhibits RC charging
with a rise time of approximately 70 μs with 100 kΩ pull-up resistor and about 600 ns with low
impedance pull-up in TTL and LV voltage configurations. When a 0 is driven on channel, the
MOSFET is turned on and data line is connected to ground via a current sense resistor of 0.3 Ω.
The falling edge is much sharper with a maximum fall time of 300 ns approximately. Please refer
to electrical characteristics for output voltage levels with different load resistance.
The load resistor and pull-up resistor form a voltage divider of V
voltage, thus output voltage decreases with decreasing load resistance. The minimum load
resistance that can be connected on channels is 500 Ω for LV emulation, 750 Ω for TTL emulation
and 150 kΩ otherwise.
The data lines have a current sinking capacity of 300 mA. If the current through MOSFET
increases above limited value, the over current protection circuit turns off all FETs in the
concerned port. The over current condition must last for greater than 12.8 µs before over current
protection circuit is activated. This is done to prevent false over current events due to transients. It
takes approximately 20 µs from first occurrence of the over current event before the FETs are
turned off. The over current circuit will activate with 340 mA hold current and 475 mA trip
current, where hold current is the maximum current circuit will allow without tripping and trip
current is the minimum current required to trip the circuit. The absolute maximum limit on sinking
current is 500 mA. Staying within these limits is user's responsibility. Over current readings from
ports will be latched and can be read by user. When they reset over current condition then port will
be enabled and data last written to port will be applied on channels.
