4 High-Voltage/High-Current (External VCC) D/A Outputs
DA5
Digital-to-Analog (D/A) module DA5 provides 4 independent D/A output channels (half-bridge) utilizing a single external supplied power source with full-scale operating range of 0-65 VDC (V-control mode) and 0-2 A (I-control mode). Alternatively, two channels can be paired (full-bridge) to achieve a full-scale operating range of ±65 V and ±2 A from a single external supplied power source. Linearity/accuracy is ±1% FS range over temperature. The DA5 provides either voltage or current control loop modes, which are programmable for the application.
