Acromag, Inc. 12-bit DAC Analog I/O Module AP225

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. A 64K sample memory is provided for waveform storage on board. This memory is shared between the sixteen channels. Waveforms can be continuously output from onboard memory without host intervention. Additionally, a DMA controller is provided for streaming waveform data from host memory. The AP225 supports 6 independent software selectable output ranges plus capabilities to monitor the status of each output. • 16 channels voltage outputs • Wide temperature range • PCIe bus interface The AP225 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. The AP225 is ideal for waveform generation application that require high speed capabilities.
