AP220: 12-Bit DAC Module

Brand: Acromag

The AP220 12-bit D/A converter module outputs analog voltage signals to drive up to 16 devices. When used with a carrier that holds two AcroPack AP modules, up to 32 voltage outputs can be obtained from a single card cage slot.

Each output channel has its own 12-bit D/A converter (DAC). Individual DACs are faster, and they eliminate glitches typically caused by the re-acquisition process of sample and holds found on multiplexed output boards.

Individual channels also have double-buffered data latches. You can select to update each output when it is written to, or to update all outputs simultaneously. Simultaneous outputs better simulate linear movements in motion processes.
Features
  • PCI Express Generation 1 interface
  • Independent 12-bit D/A converters per channel
  • Mix and match countless I/O combinations in a single slot.
  • Sample software and diagnostics
  • Double-buffered DACs
  • Built-in calibration coefficients
  • Independent selectable output ranges
  • Outputs reset to 0 volts
  • Internally stored calibration coefficients  ensure accuracy.
  • Software provides easy selection of transparent or simultaneous output modes.
  • Double-buffered DACs allow new data to be written to each channel before the simultaneous trigger updates the outputs.
  • Alarm function
  • Solid-down connector I/O interface
  • Wide temperature range
  • PCIe, VPX and XMC carriers
  • Linux®, Windows®, and VxWorks® support
