dS2824

User Manual v4.09

Representative flexible I/O

schematic

P1 controls the passive pull-up. It is
automatically disabled in analogue

modes and set by the option in the
digitalport declaration in digital

modes.

Q1 controls the open collector NPN
output. It is set by writing to the port.

D1 is the ports input. It supplies the

12bit ADC in analogue modes and is
read as 0 or 1 in digital modes.
