B. DIGITAL I/O INTERFACE

B.1 INTRODUCTION

The DIO connector on the PC5153/ PC5173 is interfaced to GPIO ports on the Super I/O chipset. The
DIO has both 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are
generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be
read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.

NOTE:

For further information, please refer to the datasheet for the Super I/O chipset.

B.2 DIO CONNECTOR PINOUTS

The following table describes how the DIO connector pins are connected to the Super I/O.
