 \section{Modules}
+A Logicbox consists of three modules: One mainboard and two AddOns.

 \subsection{Mainboard Simple}
 The simple mainboard has two AddOn connectors, one dedicated for input modules, one for output modules only.
 Power is supplied on a 2-pin connector at 4-5 V. It supports the input select switch available on some input modules

+\item 2 inputs on LEMO connectors
+\item Inputs are connected to channels 0 and 2
+\item Inputs are terminated with 50 ohms. Strong TTL driver required, at least 35 mA

 \subsection{Output: LVDS / TTL}

+\item The main buffer for all channels is 1k words deep

+\item If rising and falling edge are within the same 250 MHz period, the hit can not be decoded. Minimum pulse width 4 ns. 
+\item Serial interface runs at 921 kBaud, about 8000 Words/second
