During overvoltage conditions, high current flows through R1 and into the 
protection diodes. High current causes internal heating in the posistor, 
which increases the resistance and limits the current. Refer to the 
 section for current-limiting and resistance values.
Drive Strength
The sbRIO devices were tested with all 110 DIO channels driving 3 mA 
DC loads, for a total of 330 mA sourcing from the FPGA. The FPGA uses 
minimum 8 mA drivers, but the devices are not characterized for loads 
higher than 3 mA.
Signal Integrity
The sbRIO boards were designed with 60
Ω characteristic trace impedance. 
The characteristic impedance of most IDC ribbon cables is 110
Ω, which is 
grossly mismatched from the board. However, headers P2–P5 were 
designed such that the signals are interwoven with ground 
(signal/ground/signal/ground, etc.), which greatly improves the signal 
integrity. This is sufficient for most applications
For the best possible signal integrity, use 3M
 ribbon cable #3353, which 
has a characteristic impedance of 65
Ω. This cable has a ground plane that 
connects to the ground plane of the board at pin 1 and pin 50. The internal 
ground plane of this cable also reduces noise and radiated emissions.
Using +5 V Power from 3.3 V DIO Headers P2–P5
Each of the four DIO headers has two pins to provide +5 V power for 
external applications. This +5 V outputs are referenced to DGND on the 
headers and are connected directly to the internal 5 V power plane of the 
sbRIO device. The +5 V source has current limiting and overvoltage 
clamps. Nevertheless, sudden current steps and noisy loads can inject 
high-frequency transients into the power planes of the device. Such 
transients can cause intermittent failures in the digital timing and lead to 
unexpected behavior. Add filters and/or additional current limiting 
between the external load and the +5 V output if the external load is not a 
quiet, slowly ramping DC load. An LC filter of 6.8
μH and 100 μF per 
200 mA load should be sufficient, but the OEM user is responsible for final 
requirements and testing.
The sbRIO power supply is designed for a total of 2 A external load at 5 V. 
This total includes 200 mA per installed C Series module. For example, if 
three C Series modules are installed, only 2 A – (3 × 0.2) = 1.4 A is 
available for use on headers P2–P5. Each pin on the headers is rated for 2 A, 
but a typical 28 AWG ribbon cable is rated for only 225 mA per conductor.
