9.6 Signal characteristics
This section describes the electrical signal characteristics of the drive’s input and output signals. See Table 18
on page 48 for signal type and signal name information.
9.6.1 TTL characteristics
Table 22 provides the TTL characteristics.
9.6.2 LED driver signals
Fault and Active LED signals are located in the FC-SCA connector (J1) and through the indicator connector
(J6). See Table 23 for the output characteristics of the LED drive signals.
9.6.3 Differential PECL output
The serial PECL output signal voltage characteristics are provided in Table 24. The outputs are not AC coupled
in order to deliver maximum signal without rise and fall time degradation. You must AC couple the receiver to
isolate potentially different DC characteristics of the outputs and the receiver.
