Power-On StateWhen the computer is first turned on, all lines are configured for input and
in the high-impedance state. By default, the data and control lines in the
653Xdevice are pulled down, even if the CPULL and DPULL are
disconnected. You can select the biasing of control and data signals using
the CPULL and DPULL lines:
•CPULL line—For control lines, it is a user-configurable 2.2kΩ
internal resistor. You can connect the line to +5VDC (pull up) or
connect the line to ground (pull down).
•DPULL line—For data lines, it is a user-configurable 100kΩ internal
resistor. You can connect the line to +5VDC (pull up) or connect the
line to ground (pull down).
Caution Do not connect CPULL, DPULL, or any other line directly to an external power
supply while the 653Xdevice is powered off. Doing this may prevent your computer from
booting.
For example, if you are using active-low handshaking signals, you can
connect the CPULL line to +5 V to place the handshaking lines in the high,
inactive state at power up.
Power ConnectionsThe +5 V pin on the I/O connector supplies power from the computer
power supply through a self-resetting fuse. The fuse resets automatically
within a few seconds after removal of an overcurrent condition. The power
pin is referenced to the GND pins and can supply power to external digital
circuitry. The power ratings for the +5V pin for the various 653Xdevices
are shown in TableD-1.
