When the address changes, devices on the bus may decode the latchable address (LA23..17) lines
and then latch them. This arrangement allows devices to decode chip selects and M16- before the
next cycle actually begins.
The following guidelines apply to optional ISA devices installed in the system:
On bus lines that can be driven by a controller board, the driver should be able to sink a
minimum of 20 ma at 0.5 VDC and source 2 ma at 3.75 VDC.
On bus lines that are driven in the low direction only (open collector), the driver should be
able to sink 20 ma at 0.5 VDC.
The load on any logic line from a single bus slot should not exceed 2.0 ma in the low state
(at 0.5 VDC) or 0.1 ma in the high state (at 3.75 VDC).
The logic-high voltage at the bus ranges from 3.75 VDC to 5.5 VDC. The logic low voltage
ranges from 0 VDC to 0.8 VDC.
