Description
This driver module, designed for silicon photonics, contains 8 ultra-precise fully programmable channels. It uses a new card-edge connector system which is easier to use and more robust than its predecessor. Adapters are available. Next-generation fully shielded backplane, cable, and interposer infrastructure to fit the new connectors are now available. Drop us an email at [email protected] with requests and enquiries.
Features
- 8 software-defined input/output channels
- Channels configurable as voltage output, current output, ground, voltage or current sense
- Hardware voltage and current control (12 V, 24 mA)
- 16-bit output precision (±180 µV, ±370 nA)
- 18-bit input accuracy
Output circuit diagram
Referring to the diagram, nominal performance values are as follows. Values with ‘±’ are digitisation step sizes (i.e. resolution) and also target accuracy.
- a = 0..12 V ± 180 µV @ +15 mA max
- b = 0..24 mA ± 370 nA @ 15 V max
- c = 1.6 Ω max
- d = –24..+24 mA ± 740 nA
- e = 0..12 V ± 50 µV
