  • Page 17: Chapter 1 - Theory Of Operation

    Introduction The VMIVME-4122 Analog Output board provides 8-analog output channels with 12- bit resolution. The VMIVME-4122 can source or sink 10 mA at up to ±10V. Each output has a dedicated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) assigned to it. After system resets the DACs are driven to zero. The analog outputs can be disconnected from the field wiring for off-line testing.
  • Page 18: Functional Organization

    VMIVME-4122 8-channel 12-bit Analog Output Board Functional Organization The VMIVME-4122 is divided into the following functional categories. Each category will be discussed in detail in this section of the manual. • Bus interface • Data manipulation • Output DACs • BIT multiplexer and ADC...
  • Page 19: Vmebus Interface

    Address lines A01 through A07 map the 12 registers into the bottom of a 128-byte range within the VMEbus address space described in “Programming” on page 41. The control signals determine whether data is to be moved to the VMIVME-4122 (write) or from the VMIVME-4122 (read), provide the necessary Data Strobes (DS0*,DS1*). A SYSRESET* input resets all CSR bits.
  • Page 20: Output Dacs

    The output DACs (two quad DACs) convert the manipulated data into a voltage based upon the reference voltage applied to the converters. In the VMIVME-4122 this reference voltage is selected by jumpers. This determines the output voltage range of the DAC. See Table 2-2 on page 30 for jumper configuration.

    A write to the Board ADC Access Word Register will convert that channel’s output voltage. The VMIVME-4122 BIT uses an internal 12-bit ADC. The USER may select the ADC input range to match the DAC’s range or the user may leave the ADC...

  • Page 24: Dac Output Update Control

    VMIVME-4122 8-channel 12-bit Analog Output Board DAC Output Update Control Bits in the CSR enable multiple ways to load the DAC’s output register. After the input register is loaded, it takes a “load” signal to transfer the input register value to the output register.

  • Page 50: Dac Registers

    The 8-DAC registers are 16-bit registers that are accessed as a word. Each DAC register corresponds to a channel which is read/write. The Digital-To-Analog Converters used in the VMIVME-4122 contain two registers associated with each of the 8-analog channel outputs. They are the "input/output registers". These 12-bit wide registers are arranged such that all data read or write operations access the input register only.
