# Industrial Specification: Input/Output Interface Circuits

## 1. Technical Definition
Electronic circuits that facilitate communication between a control/monitoring board and external devices or systems.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **3.3-5.0 VDC, -40 to 85°C, 0-100 mA per channel**. Failure boundary: **Voltage &gt; 5.5 VDC causes dielectric breakdown, temperature &gt; 125°C initiates thermal runaway, current &gt; 120 mA per channel induces electromigration**, Mechanism: **Electromigration at current densities exceeding 10^6 A/cm², dielectric breakdown at electric fields &gt; 10 MV/m, thermal runaway when junction temperature exceeds 150°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
