18200-20 Specifications
Independently configured for input or output
Pull-up/pull-down configuration
All pins pulled up to Vs via 47 K resistors (default).
Positions available for pull down to ground. Hardware
selectable via zero ohm resistors as a factory option.
2.0 V min, 5.5 V absolute max
0.8 V max, –0.5 V absolute min
Output high voltage (IOH = –2.5 mA)
Output low voltage (IOL = 2.5 mA)
Edge sensitive: user configurable for
CMOS compatible rising or falling edge.

Table 4 summarizes the noise performance for the 18200-20. Noise distribution is determined by gathering 50
K samples with inputs tied to ground at the user connector. Samples are gathered at the maximum specified
sampling rate of 50 kS/s.
