Page 22: Trigger Choices Explained
MedeaWiz® Sprite® 4K Trigger Choices Explained Trigger Low requires a transition from a positive voltage down to ground. Since the Sprite has an internal resistor holding the input at positive 3.3 Volts, you only need to provide a ground to trigger. For example if you are using a push button wired from the input terminal 2 to ground terminal 4 as shown on the following page, pressing the button applies the ground to the input causing the transition and a valid trigger event. -
