LJTICK-DIGITALO

LJTick-DigitalOut5V

£32.22 £26.85

Converts 3.3V digital outputs to 5V digital outputs. Easily control 5V relays, or interface with a 5V logic device.

  • Output only
  • Source or sink 50mA or more
  • Up to 800kHz
  • Interfacing with 5V logic circuitry

NOTE: When the LabJack digital I/O is configured as an input, the DigitalOut5V accessory will output logic low.

Common Applications

  • Controlling relays that require 5V logic signals.

Screw Terminal Descriptions

VS: This is the same 5 volt output as the VS terminals on the LabJack itself. This is an output terminal, not an input. It can be used to provide 5 volt (nominal) power as needed.

GND: Same as LabJack ground (GND).

DOA/DOB: These lines are the converted 5V logic lines.

The AND gate has Schmitt trigger inputs (i.e. hysteresis), which help avoid rapid toggling if a noisy signal slowly changes state.

The AND gate is powered by 3.3 volts from a regulator. An input of 0 to 1.0 volts will cause the output of the AND gate to be 0 volts. An input of 2.3 to VS (nominally 5.0) volts will cause the output of the AND gate to be 3.3 volts.

The output amp is powered by VS & GND, and is set up with a gain of x1.5. Thus the 3.3 volt high output of the AND gate will result in a 5.0 volt output from the amp, assuming a light load and assuming that VS is at least 5.0 volts.

If the DIO connected to the tick's input is set to output-high, the tick's output will be high. It the DIO is set to output-low, the tick's output will be low. If the DIO is set to input, the tick's output will be low (due to the pull-down resistors on the inputs). This last fact can be useful when the DIO is configured to go to output-low at power up, as there is usually a brief time where the line will be input before the configuration takes effect.
