The Jaguar pad is basically four sets of buttons. Three of those sets have five buttons, and the fourth has six. Each set has one pin that is pulled low to read the buttons within that set on five (or six) other pins. It is useful to think of the Jagpad as a matrix of twenty-one buttons.

Since each column address pin has two digital states, and there are four pins, you end up using only four of the total sixteen possible binary combinations of those address pins. That's where the Team Tap comes in. Each binary combination of the four address pins corresponds to one of the four columns on one of the four controllers that can be attached. Again, looking at it in tabular format helps. Each cell represents the console's digital output of pins 1-4 needed to address each column (1-4) of each pad (A-D). 1=high Column 0=low 1 2 3 4 A 1110 1101 1011 0111 B 0000 0001 0010 0011 Pad C 0100 0101 0110 1000 D 1001 1010 1100 1111 Jay Tilton 06/28/98 2 of 2 7/23/20, 11:05 PM
