AI-1216B-RU1-PCI 2 Ver.1.00 Analog Input Signal Connection Block Diagram Analog signal input types are divided into single-ended input 16 single-end 8 Digital Input / 8 Digital Output Analog Inputs and differential input. This board uses single-ended input fixed. The following examples show how to connect analog CN1 input signals using a flat cable and a shielded cable. Single-ended Input The following figure shows an example of flat cable connection. Connect separate signal and ground wires for each analog Multiplexer input channel on CN1. Single-ended Input Connection (Flat Cable) Analog BOARD CN1 Cable Signal Source Circuit Analog Input 0..15 Analog Ground A/D Converter FPGA The following figure shows an example of shield cable connection. Use shielded cable if the distance between the signal source and board is long or if you want to provide better DC/DC converter protection from noise. For each analog input channel on CN1, connect the core wire to the signal line and connect the shielding to ground. Single-ended Input Connection (Shield Cable) PCI Bus CN1 Shield cable Signal Source BOARD Analog Input 0..15 Analog Ground CAUTION - If the signal source contains over 50 kHz signals, the signal may effect the cross-talk noise between channels. - If the board and the signal source receive noise or the distance between the board and the signal source is too long, data may not be input properly. - An input analog signal should not exceed the maximum input voltage (relate to the board analog ground). If it exceeds the maximum voltage, the board may be damaged. - Connect all the unused analog input channels to analog ground. Digital I/O signals Connection The following sections show examples of how to connect digital I/O signals. All the digital I/O signals and control signals are TTL level signals.
