Product short description:

End of Life. Consult factory for alternative solutions.

  • 8 voltage output channels
  • Individual 16-bit D/A converter on each channel
  • Individual clock on each channel supporting rates of up to 100KHz
  • FIFO memory buffers (128 samples/channel)

IP236A-8 modules have 16-bit D/A converters (DAC) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs.

 

IP236A-8: 16-bit D/A Analog Output with FIFO Buffers Description

IP236A-8 modules have 16-bit D/A converters (DAC) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs. FIFO buffers enhance control over the transfer of data to the DAC and improve efficiency.

Each channel has a dedicated 128 sample FIFO buffer and its own clock. A start trigger transfers digital values from the buffer to the DAC. Three modes offer several choices for the data transfer on each channel.

Continuous mode cycles data through the buffer for a given channel and is ideal for waveform generation. As new data loads into the FIFO, the output signal instantly updates without stopping the waveform.

Single mode moves one value from the buffer to the converter for each trigger. External trigger mode synchronizes channel conversions to an event or other IP236A-8 modules.

Update to AcroPack mezzanine modules into your host system, they maintain the same functionality and memory map of Acromag’s existing Industry Pack (IP) modules. Learn More >
