For any of the inputs, if it is a floating node (for example when a switch is on, the input will receive 24V. If the switch is off, then it will be an open circuit) will the serializer interpret it as a logic low signal? Specifically, does it already have a pull down resistor for each input signal?
Nothing on the datasheet specifically says it will, but the application circuit on page 17 figure 23 shows a similar configuration. For S0 and S7, when the switch is open, the input to IP0 and IP7 respectively should be floating/high impedance. With the current limit on these IP inputs, will that not be enough to detect the floating/high impedance inputs as logic low?
