IBM manual Keyboard/Mouse Connector, Signals, ThinkPad 560/560E System Board

Keyboard/Mouse Connector

Each ThinkPad computer has a keyboard/mouse connector where the IBM mouse, keyboard, or numeric keypad is connected.

Signals

The keyboard and mouse signals are driven by open-collector drivers pulled to 5 V dc through a pull-up resistor. Figure 2-1 lists the signals.

Sink current			20 mA			Maximum
High-level output voltage			5.0	V	dc	minus pullupMinimum
Low-level	output	voltage	0.5	V	dc	Maximum
High-level input voltage			2.0	V	dc	Minimum
Low-level	input	voltage	0.8	V	dc	Maximum
