TI Introduces Ultra-Low Glitch, 16-Bit DAC with Internal 2ppm/C Reference for Closed-Loop Control Applications

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 03:43:02 +0200

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...

Sealevel Systems introduces SeaDAC line of USB data acquisition and control modules

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 20:21:19 +0100

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.
