Hi team,

I understand why two VSOs can't be connected in series. But why two VSOs can't be connected in parallel?

Hi Naizeng,

With this connection, the "low" levels output by one slave would not be observed by the other slave. If this is not an issue for an application, then the parallel connection of SVO-based buffers would be OK.
