Input Circuit Operation
An input circuit responds to an input signal in the following manner.
1. An input filter removes false signals due to contact bounce or
electrical interference.
2. Opto-electrical isolation protects the input circuit and backplane
circuits by isolating logic circuits from input signals.
3. Logic circuits process the signal.
4. An input status indicator turns on or off indicating the status of
the corresponding input device.
