PMC230A: 16-Bit D/A Analog Output
Please sign in or register to see model options and to add products to your cart.
Product short description:
- Independent D/A converters on each channel
- 10µS settling time
- Three output ranges
PMC230A modules have eight 16-bit D/A converter (DACs) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs. A unique two-piece board design brings the proven reliability of Acromag’s IndustryPack® (IP) A/D modules to a PMC format. An IP230A module is embedded on a PMC interface card that maintains maximum performance and transparent communication to the host.
Jumper-selectable output ranges give you the choice of unipolar or bipolar voltage output. And for greater flexibility, the PMC230A module accepts conversion start triggers from software commands, or from external sources for synchronization to specific events.
The PMC230A is a drop-in replacement for the PMC230, please see the known differences document below for more information.

Specifications
Analog Outputs:
Output configuration: 8 voltage output channels.
D/A Resolution: 16 bits.
Output ranges: ±5V, ±10V, 0 to 10V (jumper-selectable).
Maximum throughput rate: Outputs can be updated simultaneously or individually. One channel: 100KHz (10μS/conversion) Eight channels: 100KHz (10μS/8 ch).
DAC programming: Immediate (transparently programmed to DAC output); simultaneous (input latches of DACs are loaded before simultaneously updating outputs).
System accuracy: 0.0061% of 20V span max. corrected error (i.e. calibrated) at 25°C with output unloaded.
Output at reset: 0V for bipolar output, 5V for unipolar.
Output current: -5 to +5mA (maximum).
Short circuit protection: Indefinite at 25°C.
