Logical Inputs and Outputs
• Absolute max voltage rating –0.5 to +5.5 V with respect to DGND
• Digital I/O lines:
– Input logic low voltage –0.3 V min 0.8 V max
– Input logic high voltage 2.2 V min 5.3 V max
– Output logic low voltage — 0.4 V max
(at output current = 2.5 mA)
– Output logic high voltage 3.7 V min —
(at output current = –2.5 mA)
– Input leakage current –1 µA min 1 µA max

Figure 3-8 illustrates signal connections for three typical digital I/O
applications.

Digital I/O Connections
In Figure 3-8, port A is configured for digital output, and ports B and C are
configured for digital input. Digital input applications include receiving
TTL signals and sensing external device states such as the switch in
