ESCRIPTION
The VM1548C Open Collector Digital I/O module is a high performance I/O module that has
been designed for high voltage, current, and data throughput. The instrument uses the message-
based word serial interface for programming and data movement as well as allowing direct
register access for very high-speed.
The VM1548C provide 48 open-collector digital I/O line that are configurable as input or output
in six groups of eight channels each. The module can drive up to 60 V with sink current of up to
300 mA per channel. Each group of 8 bits can be configured as an input or an output under
program control. The VM1548C has the flexibility to source the input and output clocks from
either the front panel (one input per group of 8 bits), the backplane TTL Trigger bus or via a word
serial command. By using the appropriate clocking sources, very large numbers of channels may
by synchronized to collect or present data to a UUT (unit under test).
Each clock input is internally pulled to a logic high level and has a RC termination network to
reduce multiple clocking due to line ringing. The RC network consists of a 120
Ω
resistor in series
with a 100 pF capacitor, giving a time constant of 12 ns.
The VM1548C can be combined with any member of the VMIP family to form a customized and
highly integrated instrument.

The data may be read or loaded by one of two different methods:
Word Serial Message-based Data Access:
In this mode, the input or output data and all other
functions are accessed via the VXI message-based
interface. Commands are sent to set the I/O ports
as well as to initiate functions such as triggering an
update or to query a port’s input state. This data
access method is very clean from a programming
perspective, but it is also the slowest of the data
access modes.
Register-Based Data Access:
This mode offers the fastest throughput. The I/O
ports are directly mapped into the VXI user
definable registers. Data access occurs in
approximately 500 ns, depending on the controller
and software used.
