Table 1. NI 650x Specifications Overview (See page 385 for detailed specifications.)
Overview and Applications
NI 6503 devices are 24-bit parallel DIO interfaces for PCI, PCMCIA,
and ISA. NI 6508 devices offer 96-bit parallel DIO interfaces for PCI,
PXI, and ISA. All NI 650x devices are designed for 5 V TTL/CMOS
I/O signals.
Digital I/O Connector
Digital connectors for the NI 650x devices are described in Table 2.
The eight bits in Port A of each PPI are at xPA7 through xPA0 on the
digital I/O connector where x represents which PPI is being used. Ports B
and C are at xPB7 through xPB0 and xPC7 through xPC0, respectively.
Each port is programmed to be input or output. Power from the
computer I/O channel is also available on the DIO connector. See page
381 to learn more about connectivity solutions, including direct
connectors, electromechanical relay devices, and other signal
conditioning solutions.

Hardware
82C55 Parallel Port Interfaces
NI 650x devices use 82C55 Parallel Port Interfaces (PPIs). NI 6503
devices contain one PPI, and the NI 6508 devices contain four. Each
PPI controls 24 bits of DIO and has three 8-bit ports (A, B, and C). You
can configure each port as either input or output. Ports A and B are
always used for digital data I/O, while port C can be configured for
digital data I/O, control, status, or handshake signals.
Table 2. NI 650x Connector Overview
Digital I/O Power-Up State Selection
You can power up the PCI-6503, PC-DIO-24, PC-DIO-96, and
PXI-6508 DIO lines in a user-defined state – either high or low. On
these devices, each line is connected to a 100 kΩ resistor, and you can
use a jumper to select whether the lines of the device power up in
the high or low state. The DAQCard-DIO-24 and PCI-DIO-96 have
100 kΩ resistors that always pull high.

SCXI – High-Performance Modular Signal Conditioning
(See Figure 1)
SCXI is a modular high-performance signal conditioning system that serves as a front
end to your DIO device. The SCXI modules for DIO offer isolation, extended voltage
ranges (up to 250 Vrms), increased current switching capabilities, and expanded
channel counts (up to 3,072 I/O lines). In addition to SCXI modules for DIO, your
SCXI signal conditioning system can include modules for analog output and general-
purpose switching when cabled to a DIO device. With SCXI, you can create
integrated, flexible high-channel-count measurement systems with signal
conditioning components tailored to your needs. See page 270 for details on SCXI
signal conditioning.

SCC – Portable Modular Signal Conditioning
National Instruments offers SCC modules for portable low-channel-count digital
signal conditioning. These modules mount in a compact, versatile carrier. See page
251 for details on SCC signal conditioning.
