Good Read LED
The EM1395 provides a pin (LED, PIN 10) on the host interface connector that can be used by an external
driver circuit to drive an LED to indicate a Good Read status. When a good read occurs, the LED pin gets
pulled low for about 300ms, and then the signal is back to a high level. This Good Read LED output is not
strong enough to drive an LED, so an LED driver circuit is needed.
The following Good Read LED driver circuit is provided for reference.
