Chapter 1  
Introducing the PCI-QUAD-AC5  
Overview: PCI-QUAD-AC5 features  
The PCI-QUAD-AC5 is a 96-bit, high output, digital I/O board for PCI-compatible computers. Primarily  
designed as a direct interface to the industry-standard SSR-PB24 rack, the board is also highly useful as a  
general purpose digital I/O board.  
The 96-bits of digital I/O are organized into four 24-bit groups based on an 82C55 mode 0 emulation (no  
strobed I/O or bi-directional I/O bits). Each 24-bit group is divided into three eight-bit ports labeled  
PORTA, PORTB and PORTC. PORTC can be split into two four-bit nibbles Port C-HI and Port C-  
LO. Each of these ports may be individually programmed as input or output.  
All inputs and outputs are TTL compatible. The digital output drivers are 74S244 chips that can sink  
64 mA and source 15 mA. The input buffers are 74LS373 chips and have standard high input impedance  
of the 74LS series devices. All I/O is brought out to a 50-pin connectors, which also allows connection to  
the PC’s +5 Volt and Ground.  
On power up and reset, all I/O bits are set to input mode. If you are using the board to control items that  
must be OFF on reset, install pull-down resistors. Each board is equipped with open locations where you  
can install SIP resistor networks for either pull-up or pull-down.  
The PCI-QUAD-AC5 board is completely plug-and-play, with no jumpers or switches to set. All board  
addresses and interrupt sources are set by the board's plug-and-play software. Board configuration is  
controlled by your system's BIOS.

Functional Details  
Signal connections  
All digital inputs and outputs on the PCI-QUAD-AC5 connector are TTL and are fully compatible with  
the inputs and outputs on the industry-standard PB-24 rack (Measurement Computing Corporation's  
model SSR-PB24).  
82C55 emulation  
The PCI-QUAD-AC5 board emulates the 82C55 chip. The 82C55 emulation initializes all ports as inputs  
on power-up and reset. A TTL input is a high impedance input. If you connect another TTL input device  
to the output, it could be turned on or off every time the board is reset.  
To establish a consistent TTL level at power-up, use resistors tied to either +5V (pull-up) or ground  
(pull-down). There are open locations for pull-up and pull-down resistor SIPs on the board.  
When an 82C55 emulation is powered on or reset, all pins are set to high-impedance input. Based on  
standard TTL functionality, these inputs will typically float high, and may have enough drive current to  
turn on external devices.  
Consequently, if you have output devices such as solid state relays, they may be switched on whenever  
the computer is powered on or reset. To prevent unwanted switching, and to drive all outputs to a known  
state after power on or reset, pull all pins either high or low through a 2.2 K ohm resistor.  
Pull-up and pull-down resistors  
TTL inputs typically float high, but not reliably. The direction they float is dependent on the  
characteristics of the circuit and is unpredictable. If devices such as solid state relays are driven by digital  
I/O pins, they can be switched on whenever the computer is powered on or is reset. To prevent unwanted  
switching at power-on or reset, force all digital I/O pins to a known state by pulling all pins either high or  
low through a 2.2 K ohm resistor tied to either 5V or GND.  
The pull-up resistor pulls the input to a high state (+5V) when the board is in input mode, as it would be  
on power-up or reset. A 2.2 K ohm resistor draws only 2 mA. A grounded 2.2 K ohm pull-down resistor  
pulls the I/O line low when the board is in input mode.  
The SIP is made up of eight 2.2 K ohm resistors. One side of each resistor is connected to a single  
common point and brought out to a pin. The common line is marked with a dot or line at one end of the  
SIP. The remaining resistor ends are brought out to the other eight pins (refer to Figure 4-3).

Functional Details  
The PCI-QUAD-AC5 board has open locations where you can install a 2.2 K ohm, eight-resistor single  
inline package (SIP) resistor network for each port. Each of the four port locations is identified by the bit  
range — the First Port connector (P1) is labeled Bits 1 to 24, the Second Port connector (P2) is labeled  
Bits 25 to 48, the Third Port connector (P3) is labeled Bits 49 to 72, and the Fourth Port connector (P4)  
is labeled Bits 73 to 96. Pull-up/pull-down SIP locations (3 per port) are labeled A, B and C, and are  
Second Port First Port  
Fourth Port Third Port  
SIP locations  
A, B, C (3 per port)  
Figure 4-4. PCI-QUAD-AC5 layout and SIP locations  
When installed, the SIP establishes either a high or low logic level at each of the eight  
I/O lines on the port. At each board location, A, B, and C, there are 10 holes in a line. The hole on one  
end is marked "HI" and is connected to +5V. The other end is marked "LO" and is connected to GND.  
The eight holes in the middle connect to the eight lines of the port, A, B or C.  
To pull-up lines, orient the SIP with the common pin (dot) toward the HI end; to pull-down, install the  
resistor with the common pin in the LO end.  
Figure 4-5 shows a schematic of an SIP installed in both the pull-up and pull-down positions.

Functional Details  
Unconnected inputs float  
Unconnected inputs typically float high, but not reliably. If you are using a PCI-QUAD-AC5 board for  
input and have unconnected inputs, ignore the data from those lines. You do not have to terminate input  
lines, and unconnected lines will not affect the performance of connected lines. Ensure that you mask out  
any unconnected bits in software.  
TTL to solid state relays  
Many applications require digital outputs to switch AC and DC voltage motors on and off or to monitor  
AC and high DC voltages. These AC and high DC voltages cannot be controlled or read directly by the  
TTL digital lines of a PCI-QUAD-AC5.  
Solid State Relays (SSRs) allow control and monitoring of AC and high DC voltages and provide 750 V  
isolation. SSRs are the recommended method of interfacing to AC and high DC signals.  
The most convenient way to use solid state relays and a PCI-QUAD-AC5 board is to purchase a Solid  
State Relay Rack. The rack recommended for use with the PCI-QUAD-AC5 board is the SSR-PB24 from  
Measurement Computing Corporation.
