The DAC8560 builds upon TI's recently released DAC855x series offering breakthrough performance while minimizing code-to-code output transient voltages (glitch). The low-glitch performance solves the common DAC problem of unwanted transient voltages which cause ringing in closed-loop systems and create harmonic distortion during waveform generation...

The A/D channels feature 5MHz bandwidth track/hold and 100ksps throughput. The module's D/A channels are independently jumper selectable for 0-5V or 0-10V output range. Eight digital inputs are rated for 5-30VDC and provide 300V external isolation, while the SeaDAC MIO-26's eight open collector outputs are ideal for switching 24V devices.

The first module released, the SeaDAC MIO-26, offers a powerful combination of I/O including 16 single-ended or eight differential 12-bit analog inputs, two 12-bit D/A outputs, eight optically isolated digital inputs, and eight open collector digital outputs. The module’s A/D inputs are independently software selectable for 0-5V, 0-10V, ±5V, and ±10V ranges and...

The new MB86065, the industry's fastest 14-bit DAC, is the second ASSP based on Fujitsu's second-generation DAC technology. The new DAC builds on the superior, high direct-IF architectures enabled by the MB86064, which won the European Electronics Awards "Component Product of the Year" in 2003. It excels in communications and consumer applications where...

ADAM-4000 modules accommodate multiple types and ranges of analog input. Both type and range can be remotely selected by issuing commands from the host computer. One type of module satisfies different tasks, simplifying design and maintenance...

"SDR is an emerging technology that has been historically constrained by its inherent complex signal processing requirements. With the SDR Development Platform, developers can now harness the performance and efficiency of TI's TMS320DM644x device to overcome those traditional barriers,"

Two families of single-chip energy meter ICs have been introduced by Analog Devices that combine intelligent battery management and an innovative signal processing technology.

Operating on 15-32 Vdc, Model FLSC-45B provides 4-20 mA or 1-5 Vdc field-selectable output. Electronics accept low level magnetic pickup signal or high level dc pulse from flow paddlewheel sensor or turbine meter directly, without amplification, and convert it into analog output. Signal conditioner features ±0.15% FS accuracy, .025% repeatability, and ambient operating temperature of 20-70°C. It has NEMA 4/IP66 enclosure and is CE approved.

The integrated microcontroller functionality of the ADSP-BF532 enabled control of all the audio sub-systems in the 840C, including the digital audio receiver, digital audio transmitter, twin D/A converters and audio mutes – effectively removing the need and cost of including a separate host processor...

Echotek Series ECV4-RFT VME module combines high-speed ADC and DAC technology, FPGA silicon, and fiber communications to coordinate data streams to and from distributed sensors. The ECV4-RFT resides near sensors or antennas while communicating with a remote signal-processing subsystem...
