DA3

4 (High Current) D/A Outputs (±40 VDC or +100 mA)

The Digital-to-Analog (D/A) module DA3 provides 4 independent D/A output channels with a full-scale range ±40 VDC (V-control mode) and ±100 mA (I-control mode). Linearity/accuracy is ±0.10% FS range over temperature. The DA3 provides either voltage or current control loop modes, which are programmable for the application.

The DA3 module includes extensive Background Built-in-Test (BIT). In addition to output signal read-back (wrap) capabilities, overloaded outputs are detected with automatic channel shut-down protection, and the results are displayed in a status word. DA3 also include D/A FIFO buffering for greater control of the output voltage and signal data. Once enabled and triggered, the D/A FIFO buffer accepts, stores, and outputs the voltage (and/or current) commands for applications requiring simulation of waveform generation (single or periodic). The output data command word is formatted as a percentage of the Full Scale (FS) range selection, which allows maximum resolution and accuracy at lower voltage ranges.
