If the integrator selects threshold voltages that are more than 0.1 V apart, a deadband, or
hysteresis, will be established.

In the following example, the lower threshold voltage is set at +6 VDC and the upper
threshold is set at +16 VDC. The shaded bands show state changes on the logical
outputs.

The range between 6-16 VDC is the deadband in which the signal can fluctuate without
affecting the input state.

Digital output

When a flex I/O port is configured as a digital output, it offers two output states: “on”
and “off”. When the port is set to an “on” state, (SW1 is closed), the I/O pin is connected
to ground (each I/O port is capable of sinking 250 mA max). When the port is set to the
“off” state, (SW1 is open), the output pin is floating.

If the application calls for TTL compatibility, SW2 can be selected to provide a 2K pull-up
resistor to +5 VDC.
