Maximum input signal switching frequency by number of input
channels, per channel

8 input channels.......................... 9 MHz
4 input channels.......................... 16 MHz
2 input channels.......................... 30 MHz

Maximum output signal switching frequency by number of output
channels with an output load of 1 mA, 50 pF, per channel

8 output channels........................ 5 MHz
4 output channels........................ 10 MHz
2 output channels........................ 20 MHz

I/O propagation delay ....................... 100 ns max

I/O pulse width distortion ................. 10 ns typ

Input current (0 V

≤ V

in

≤ 4.5 V)......±250 μA typ

Input capacitance .............................. 30 pF typ

Input rise/fall time............................. 500 ns max

Overvoltage protection,
channel-to-COM ............................... ±30 V max on one channel at

a time; however, continued
use at this level will degrade
the life of the module.
