7.3.1 ESDI INTERFACE ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION
7.3.1.1 Output Signal Characteristics
When measured at the ESDI device*s connection, each signal driven
by an ESDI device has the following output characteristics:
• Signal assertion = 0.0 VDC to 0.4 VDC
• Minimum driver output capability = 48 milliamperes (mA)
(sinking) at 0.4 VDC
• Signal negation = 2.5 VDC to 5.25 VDC
