AD5

16 A/D Channels (±6.25 to ±50.0 VDC FS); 16-bit SAR, 8 Chx2 A/D multiplexed

Module AD5 features 16 channels with up to 16-bit SAR A/D converters for one per 8 channel multiplexed bank / 2 banks. The maximum programmable, expected full-scale range input for the AD5 module is 50.00, 25.00, 12.50 or 6.25 volts, where range is -FS to +FS or 0 to FS VDC respectively. The A/D converters have programmable sample rates of up to 400 kHz / Aggregate per bank of 8 Channels.

The input range and gain is also field-programmable for each channel. The ability to set lower expected, full-scale voltage gain ranges assures the use of the full resolution. Each channel includes a fixed, second order, anti-aliasing filter and a digital post filter with a programmable breakpoint that enables users to field-adjust the filtering for each channel.

The extended A/D FIFO buffering capabilities of these modules supports greater storage/management of the incoming signal samples (data) for post-processing applications. Data samples can be stored in the buffer either at the maximum programmed base A/D sample rate or by an integer-divided sample rate. Programmable FIFO buffer thresholds maximize data flow control (movement in and out of the FIFO). Incremental relative time-stamping between samples also is provided as a programmable option.

All A/D channels are self-aligning and continuous Background Built-in-Test (BIT) status is provided for channel health and operation feedback. On a rotating basis, each channel is automatically trimmed/tested for optimal conversion and reliability to eliminate offset and gain errors throughout the entire operating envelope (temperature and drift control). Open inputs are sensed and flagged.
