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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
In my last post, I talked about how integration has simplified 3-wire analog output design . In this post, I’ll show you one way to protect these designs against dangerous industrial transients that can cause electrical overstress.
Let’s start…
In the last two posts in this series I talked about how to build 3-wire analog outputs and how to protect them from transient overstress . This post will finish off the discussion of 3-wire analog outputs with some solutions to one more application-specific…
