PMC Modules PMC Modules PMC230 16-Bit D/A Analog Output PMC230 modules have eight 16-bit D/A converters (DACs) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs. A unique two-piece board design brings the proven reliability of Acromag’s Industry Pack (IP) Independent D/A converters on each channel provide better performance and smoother operation.
