I/O Connector
Figure 4-1 shows the pin assignments for the 68-pin I/O connector on the
AT-MIO-16E-1, AT-MIO-16E-2, AT-MIO-16E-10, AT-MIO-16XE-10,
AT-AI-16XE-10, and AT-MIO-16XE-50. Figure 4-2 shows the pin
assignments for the 100-pin I/O connector on the AT-MIO-64E-3.
Figure 4-3 shows the pin assignments for the 100-pin I/O connector on
the AT-MIO-16DE-10. Refer to Appendix B,
, for the pin assignments for the 50-pin connectors. A signal
description follows the connector pinouts.
Caution
Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of input or output signals
