Industry Pack Modules Industry Pack Modules IP235A-8 16-Bit D/A Analog Output with RAM Buffer IP235A-8 modules have a 16-bit D/A converter (DAC) to provide highly-accurate analog voltage outputs. An The IP235’s RAM buffer is useful for generating continuous waveform output cycles such as sine, triangle, or square signals. internal RAM buffer enhances control over the transfer of data to the DAC. Environmental Specifications Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (IP235-8A) Each channel has a dedicated 2K sample RAM buffer. Analog Outputs or -40 to 85°C (IP235A-8E models). All channels share a global clock. A start trigger Output configuration: 8 Storage temperature: -55 to 125°C (all models). transfers digital values from the buffer to the DAC. D/A Resolution: 16 bits. Four modes offer several choices for the data transfer. Relative humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing Output ranges: ±5V, ±10V, 0 to 10V Continuous mode simultaneously updates all the MTBF: 815,720 hrs at 25°C, MIL-HDBK-217F, Notice 2.
