General Shutdown /GSD (J10-5)
The GSD control pin on J10-5 allows simultaneous shutdown of all ConverterPAC outputs (see Connector Pin
Identification on page 14). This pin must be pulled down to less than 0.7V, and will sink 10 mA maximum to shut
down all outputs. The GSD pin should be open circuited or allowed to exceed 4.5V when not in use, or when the
outputs are to be enabled. Do not apply more than 6V to this input at any time. Normal open circuit voltage is 1.5
to 3V with respect to Signal Ground. If driven from an electromechanical switch or relay, a capacitor should be
connected to eliminate the effects of switch bounce.
Input Power OK (J10-18)
This is an active high TTL compatible signal and provides a status indication of the DC input power (see Table 2
and Connector Pin Identification on page 14). It is capable of sinking 20 mA maximum. This signal switches to a
TTL “1” when Vin is within its specified range.
