Other Parts Discussed in Post: TINA-TI , DAC8411 This post was co-written by Kunal Gandhi and Rahul Prakash.
Engineers may agree that one of the most anxious and stressful moments they face is when his or her design is back from fabrication and ready to…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: DAC8775 In my first post , I talked about the need for modular, flexible and smart design in analog output modules and explored methods for improving efficiency in a typical high-side voltage-to-current converter used to drive…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: OPA2134 , OPA1652 Electronics such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks and wearable products are becoming more multifunctional, smaller and slimmer. Achieving higher functionality in smaller form factors requires extremely…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: DAC60096 We live in a time where you can summarize technological trends with one word: more. We demand more features, more integration, more efficiency, more everything. In TI’s precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC…
Other Parts Discussed in Post: DAC8775 Industry 4.0 has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, changing how factories are designed and implemented. In factory automation and process-control applications, Industry 4.0’s impact comes down to two fundamental…
The multiplying DAC (MDAC) is the precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC) architecture with the strongest DC specifications. These specifications are important for applications that demand high DC accuracy, including calibration as well as test and…
In my previous post , I explained how to design 2-wire, or loop-powered, analog outputs for industrial automation. In this post, with the design and operation of the transmitter in mind, I will talk about how to design circuits to protect these systems…
Last year, my colleague Tony Calabria and I brought the DAC Essentials blog series to Analog Wire . In the series, we discussed the static and dynamic specifications of precision digital-to-analog converters (DACs), precision DAC architectures, and DC…
Figure 1
The diagram in Figure 1 is a 3-wire analog output module that uses a dual-channel DAC8562 digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to drive voltage and current output stages with the high-voltage, 36-V OPA192 operational amplifier (op amp).
The current…
