Standardized Data Acquisition and Control Systems
8-channel, 12-bit D/A Converter

FEATURES
Eight independent analog outputs
10 volt output
12-bit resolution for each output
5 milliampere drive capability
4 microsecond settling time

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 3112 is a single-width CAMAC module for generating eight output voltages. The standard output is 0 to 10 volts at 5 milliampere maximum. A 12-bit register is provided for each channel. Strap options are provided so that the output range of each channel can be changed in the field to 0 to + 5 volts, + 10 volts, +/- 5 volts, or +/- 2.5 volts, independent of the setting of the other channels. The data is two's complementary and right justified (the LSB is written from Dataway line W1). Settling time of the output to within 1/2 LSB is less than 4 microseconds. The nonlinearity is less than +/- 1/2 LSB. The output impedance is less than 100 megohms. Adjustments are provided for the zero and gain of each channel. The outputs are referenced to a common ground (the module ground). In critical applications, these signals should be received by differential input circuits. On power-up, the data registers are cleared.
