Solid-State Relay OutputsOna 6527 devi ce,I/O connectorpins 5 1 through 98, shown in Figure 3-1,
represent the terminals of the solid-state relays.
Output Channels
The output channels of a 6527 device are solid-state relays containing an
LEDand two MOSFETs connected together to form a bidirectional switch.
TheLH1546 is a solid-state relay. Depending o n how the load is connected
to theterminals, an output can either source or sink currents.
Figure 3-5 showstwo signal connection examples for driving a load with
these solid-state relays.
