• Small, portable digital I/O device
• 24 digital I/O lines, one 32-bit counter
• Overvoltage protection, 8.5 mA
• Full-speed USB (12 Mb/s) bus interface
• Built-in screw terminals with removable
• OEM version available with 34-pin IDC
Overview
The National Instruments USB-6501 is a portable digital I/O device,
providing reliable data acquisition and control at a low price. With
plug-and-play USB connectivity, the NI USB-6501 is simple enough
for home/academic applications but robust and versatile enough for
laboratory/industrial applications. The board-only version is ideal
for embedded OEM applications.
Hardware
The USB-6501 is a full-speed USB device that provides 24 DIO lines and
a 32-bit counter. The 24 digital lines are arranged in three ports: P0.<0..7>,
P1.<0..7>, and P2.<0..7>. P2.7 can also function as a 32-bit counter. You
can individually program each of the USB-6501 DIO lines as a DI or DO
line and use the DIO lines to monitor or control digital signals. All
samples of the DI lines and updates of the DO lines are software-timed.
5 V operation with an onboard 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor. You can add an
external, user-provided, pull-up resistor to increase the source current
drive up to 8.5 mA per line.
overcurrent conditions, as well as ESD events. At system startup and
reset, the hardware sets all DIO lines to high-impedance inputs.
