Twelve analog output channels are updated simultaneously from an internal buffer, either at a software-determined rate, or by an externally supplied clock. Flexible operating modes include continuous, periodic and triggered-burst functions, as well as the seamless, dynamic concatenation of waveforms in real-time. Output ranges are supplied as ±10V, ±5V or ±2.5V. Internal auto calibration networks permit periodic calibration to be performed without removing the board or host from the system. This feature produces the optimum calibration situation, in which the board is calibrated in its actual operating environment. Functional Description: The PC104P-16AO12 board contains twelve 16-bit D/A converters (DAC's), and all supporting functions necessary for adding precision high-speed analog output capability. The board is functionally compatible with the IEEE PCI local bus specification Revision 2.1, and supports the "plug-n-play" initialization concept. Unique FIFO buffer controls support the seamless sequencing of successive waveforms. In less demanding applications, the outputs can be updated individually. An optional clock output for synchronizing Sigma-Delta ADC boards is available. A PCI interface adapter provides the interface between the controlling PCI bus and the internal local controller through a 16-bit local bus (Figure 1). Twelve analog output channels are controlled through an analog output FIFO buffer, and can be updated either simultaneously or sequentially. The output sample rate can be controlled by an internal rate generator, or by an external clock. The local controller manages all input/output configuration and data manipulation functions, including auto calibration. Analog output levels are initialized to zero (midrange). Multiboard synchronization is supported. 8302A Whitesburg Drive · Huntsville, AL 35802 Phone: (256) 880-8787 or (800) 653-9970 FAX: (256) 880-8788 I/O CONN P5 VOLTAGE VRANGE REFERENCE SELFTEST NETWORKS OUTPUT BUFFER HOST 12-BIT CONN CAL CALIBRATION P1,P2 EEPROM DAC’S (24) LOCAL CONTROLLER PCI 16-BIT ANALOG INTERFACE OUTPUT DAC’S OUTPUTS 16 ADAPTER (12) (12) REMOTE SENSE +Vdd +5VDC DC/DC -Vss EXT CLOCK CONV ±5v & TRIGGER PCI BUS Figure 1. PC104P-16AO12 Board; Functional Organization The board is designed for minimum off-line maintenance, and includes internal monitoring features that eliminate the need for disconnecting or removing the module from the system for calibration. All analog input and output system connections are made through a single 50-pin, dual-ribbon front-access I/O connector. Power requirements consist of +5 VDC, in compliance with the PCI specification, and operation over the specified temperature range is achieved with conventional convection cooling. Selftest networks permit all channels to be calibrated automatically to a single internal voltage reference. Offset and gain trimming of the output channels is performed by calibration DAC's that are loaded with channel correction values during initialization. The correction values are determined during auto calibration, and are stored in nonvolatile EEprom for subsequent transfer to the calibration DAC's. Either auto calibration or initialization can be invoked at any time by asserting a single control bit in the board control register. 8302A Whitesburg Drive · Huntsville, AL 35802 Phone: (256) 880-8787 or (800) 653-9970 FAX: (256) 880-8788 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS O At +25 C, with specified operating voltages ANALOG OUTPUT CHANNELS � Output Characteristics: Configuration: Twelve single-ended analog output channels, with dedicated 16-Bit DAC per channel; Optional 4-channel and 8-Channel configurations available.

An external TTL clock output can be used for synchronization of multiple PC104P-16AO12 boards together. An optional differential clock output is available for synchronizing sigma-delta A/D boards to a PC104P-16AO12 board. The optional clock output frequency is adjustable from 16MHz to 32MHz with 0.2 percent resolution, and is derived from the local crystal-controlled master clock. An internal divider in the PC104P-16AO12 permits the adjustable clock output and the local output sampling clock to be phase-locked in integer frequency ratios from a common clock. This option is referred to in the ordering and pin out information and as Differential Sync I/O, and provides a differential interface for all digital signals at the I/O connector. Burst Trigger: Software control bit, or external TTL trigger input (Optional differential LVDS). Burst triggering also can be obtained from an external source.

Correction values determined during auto calibration are retained in nonvolatile EEprom, and are restored automatically during initialization. Auto calibration has a typical duration of 3-5 seconds, and can be invoked at any time after initialization by asserting a single control bit 8302A Whitesburg Drive · Huntsville, AL 35802 Phone: (256) 880-8787 or (800) 653-9970 FAX: (256) 880-8788 PCI INTERFACE � Compatibility: Conforms to PCI Specification 2.1, with D32 read/write transactions.

A single interrupt request can be programmed to occur in response to specific internal conditions. � Analog Output Buffer Analog output data is written to the board through a single 16-bit register that serves as a FIFO buffer port. The buffer is 17 bits wide, has a software-controlled capacity of from 4 values to 32K output values (or optional 64K or 128K), and is right justified to the LSB in the D32 PCI data path. Output data is a 16- bit field that is software-configurable in either Two's complement or offset binary format. The 17th bit is used as an end-of-frame (EOF) flag for tracking functions through the buffer.
