CAUTION
• The first letter “n” of each signal name indicates that the signal is active “L”. If any one of
the above signals is not available, bidirectional communication cannot be accomplished.
• In interfacing signals, be sure to use twist-paired wires for signal lines, and the return side
must be connected to signal ground level. All interfacing conditions are specified based on
C-MOS level and must satisfy the following characteristics. Also, specify the rising and
falling time of each signal as 0.5 µs.
• Avoid transferring data by ignoring nAck or Busy signal; otherwise, the data may be erased.
Make the interface cables as short as necessary.
4. Electrical Characteristics
4.1 Input and output conditions
All the input signals, DATA 0-7, are each pulled up with 50 KΩ resistor, and the other
input signals are each pulled up with a 3.3 KΩ resistor.
The DK_STATUS signal is set to “High” if the Drawer switch is open, and set to
“Low” if the switch is closed. The +5V signal is pulled up through a 3.3KΩ resistor.
