- #9: IIGS Sound Expansion Connector:
- Analog Input/Output Impedances
-
- Revised by: Jim Merritt & Jim Mensch November 1988
- Written by: Jim Merritt December 1986
-
- This Technical Note discusses the impedances of the analog signal pins on the
- IIGS sound expansion connector since an interface to this connector must take
- the impedance of the pins into account to function properly.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- The analog output impedance of pin 3 depends upon the characteristics of the
- 5503 sound synthesis chip in any particular IIGS machine. Across systems,
- this impedance may range from 4.5 K ohms to 9 K ohms.
-
- Pin 1, the A/D input, presents a dynamic load to the source, drawing at 10 K
- ohms for approximately 500 ns during every sample period. It is reasonable,
- however, to treat the input pin as if it presents a continuous load of 10 K
- ohms without compromising the interface or the fidelity of the input sample.
-
- Consult the Apple IIGS Hardware Reference for further technical information
- about the Ensoniq 5503 sound synthesis chip used in the IIGS.
