    I/O Pull-Up/Pull-Down Resistor The NI USB-6509 facilitates user-configurable pull-up or pull-down tasks. Each DIO channel is connected to a 100 kΩ resistor and can be pulled high or low using the back-panel switch, shown in Figure 5. Using this switch pulls all 96 DIO lines high when set to HIGH or low when set to LOW.

    100 kΩ resistor. If you want to pull a specific line high, connect a pull-up resistor that gives you a minimum of 2 V. Use the largest possible resistance value so that you do not use more current than necessary to perform the pull-up task. NI 6509 User Guide and Specifications ni.com...

  • Page 15: Increasing Current Drive On Ni Usb-6509 Devices

    Based on the USB specification, the maximum current that a bus-powered USB device can draw is limited to 500 mA. Consequently, when the NI USB-6509 is powered only from a USB port, the current drive capacity at output channels is limited.
