Camera interfaces
Input levels
The GPIOs can be connected directly to the system controlling the camera for
voltages up to 5.5 VDC. An external resistor is not necessary.
Output levels
NOTICE
Damage to the camera by high input voltage
Exceeding maximum input voltage can damage the camera.
Keep maximum input voltage below 5.5 VDC.

NOTICE
Damage to the camera by high output current or voltage
The camera can be damaged when connected to a device that exceeds the
specified maximum current or voltage. Consider maximum values:
• Maximum current = 12 mA per output
• Maximum Out VCC = 3.3 VDC

(high) = On state
The voltage level in the On state depends on the load current. Higher currents yield
lower voltage.
