Logic Input

Logic Input blocks generate logic signals depending on the state of external switches or devices that are connected to the logic inputs of a Tesira device.

Name Description
Dev. IO Displays the physical Logic I/O channel(s) on the device this block is assigned
Identifier Provides for a custom text label for the channel
Invert Flips the logic signal being generated by the Logic Input block. When inverted, a Logic Input block will output a LOW signal when the input is open to ground, and a HIGH signal when the input is closed to ground

Operation

The logic signal generated by a Logic Input block will be LOW when its corresponding logic input is “closed” (i.e., when the logic input is shorted to ground, or more specifically, when the voltage between the logic input and ground is less than approximately 0.8 volts).

The logic signal generated by a Logic Input block will be HIGH when its corresponding logic input is “open” (i.e., when the logic input is open to ground, or more specifically, when the voltage between the logic input and ground is between approximately 2.2 volts and 5 volts).
