The above table shows that the voltage levels are well compatible and that they remains
acceptable voltage margins for both TTL and LVTTL applications.

"Isolated Input (Version 1)" on page 128
in the hardware manual for electrical
specifications of isolated inputs.
NOTE
Note the circuit does not perform logic level inversion.
NOTE
The isolated input needs about 1 mA of current at high logic level. This is
compatible with the current drive capabilities of (LV)TTL drivers at, as most
(LV)TTL drivers pr/-16 mA. Even old TTL technologies provides 4 mA
min in any case.
Dynamic limitations
Isolated inputs requires a minimum pulse high of 10 µs. The highest achievable pulse rate is 50
KHz.
Isolated inputs adds an extra delay of typically 5 µs (10 µs maximum).
NOTE
The delay can be sometimes ignored and sometimes not, according to the
application.
For probably all the area-scan applications, such delay can be ignored, as is
it very short compared to the camera cycle. For instance, such delay
represents only 0.5 % of the cycle time of a super-fast 1,000 fps camera.For
line-scan applications, the delay becomes significant since the camera cycle
rate is much higher.
