2. FEATURES

Analog Inputs

  • 32 input channels, 16-bit resolution

  • May be configured as 32 single-ended, 16 differential, or 16 SE + 8 DI

  • Programmable gain, range, and polarity on inputs

  • 250,000 samples per second maximum sampling rate

  • 1024-sample FIFO for reduced interrupt overhead

  • Autocalibration of all input ranges under software control

  • Patented hardware-implemented auto-autocalibration

Analog Outputs

  • 4 analog output channels with 16-bit standard, 12-bit optional resolution, 5mA max output current

  • Multiple fixed full-scale output ranges, including unipolar and bipolar ranges

  • Programmable full-scale range

  • Patented hardware-implemented auto-autocalibration

  • 1024-sample FIFO for D/A wave form generation

  • 250 KHz maximum update rate Simultaneous update for all 4 channels capability

Digital I/O

  • 24 bi-directional lines using integrated 8255-type circuit

  • Buffered I/O for enhanced current drive

  • Handshaking controls enable external latching of data as well as interrupt operation

  • User-configurable pull-up / pull-down resistors

  • 7 additional I/O lines are fixed direction with programmable functions

Counter/Timers and A/D Triggering

  • 1 32-bit counter/timer for A/D pacer clock and interrupt operation timing

  • 1 16-bit general purpose counter/timer

  • Programmable input sources for each counter/timer

  • External A/D triggering and gating inputs

  • Multiple-board synchronization capability using A/D convert pulse out and external trigger in Interrupts may be generated by counter/timer

Miscellaneous

  • Extended temperature –40oC to +85oC operation No trimpots or user adjustments required for calibration.

  • Auto autocalibration will automatically adjust the A/D without user input. Calibration time for all modes is approximately 2 seconds.

  • Auto autocalibration of one A/D mode using the onboard dsPIC requires approx 0.5 seconds.
