Abstract
Various systems may benefit from interfaces for handling multiple types of inputs. For example, a device with a trigger input from an external device may benefit from an isolated logic level trigger that is capable of addressing multiple types and values of voltage. An apparatus can include an input configured to receive an external trigger input signal having a trigger input voltage. The apparatus can also include circuitry configured to automatically adjust the trigger input voltage to a value configured to be compatible with a provided attached system. A working range of the trigger input voltage can exceed a compatible working range of the provided attached system.
