Polarity Selection for DO3 and DO4 vs DO1 and DO2
The two open drain outputs DO3 and DO4 have internal 1 kΩ pull-up resistors to +5.5V.
These outputs can be used as regular digital outputs (open-drain type) if needed. However,
the logic will be inverted because a “direct” logic for the relay drive means an “inverted”
logic for the open drain output. The FET being on means the relay coil active, but with a pull-
up the output goes to low.
DO3 and DO4 use direct logic for the relay drive, which means that if the inverting logic is
not active and there is a “1” written to the digital output, an internal FET will be activated
causing a “low” in the open drain output.
Each digital output can be configured to have separate inverting logic, so the user can
configure these 2 to be inverting and have the normal direct logic when used as open-drain
outputs.
