PCIE-Q350 PICMG 1.3 CPU Card B.1 DIO Interface Introduction The DIO connector on the PCIE-Q350 is interfaced to GIO ports on the iTE Super I/O chipset. The DIO has both 8-bit digital inputs and 8-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
