All GPIB transceivers meet the requirements of the IEEE 488 standard. The components used
are as follows:
Transceivers Component Designation
Data Transceivers DS75160AN
Control Transceivers DS75162AN
Note: The GPIB-1014 requires regulated +5 VDC power from the VMEbus. Current load is
typically 1.6 A (2.0 A maximum).
VMEbus Characteristics
The following paragraphs describe each of the VMEbus modules on the GPIB-1014: slave,
master, interrupter, and requester. Table 2-5 at the end of this chapter summarizes the
capabilities of these modules.

VMEbus Slave-Addressing

The GPIB-1014 occupies 512 bytes (256 words) in the A16 (short) I/O space. As a VMEbus
slave, it only responds when the address modifier (AM) lines specify a short supervisory access
(AM code = 2D) or a short nonprivileged access (AM code = 29). The board responds to short
16-bit addresses. The GPIB-1014 compares address lines A15 through A9 with its base address
