3.9  I/O Circuitry and Timing 
The states of the I/O, AUX1, and AUX2 pins are low after power on reset and they are in high when the 
activation sequencer turns on the I/O reception state. See the Activation and De-activation Sequence 
section for more details on when the I/O reception is enabled.  The states of I/OUC, AUX1UC, and 
AUX2UC are high after power on reset. 
Within a card session and when the I/O reception state is turned on, the first I/O line on which a falling 
edge is detected becomes the input I/O line and the other becomes the output I/O line. When the input 
I/O line rising edge is detected, then both I/O lines return to their neutral state. Figure 9 shows the state 
diagram of how the I/O and I/OUC lines are managed to become input or output.
