  • Page 3: Chapter 1: General Information

    Chapter 1: General Information Introduction The SDAIBB is a data acquisition module with four input buffers with selectable gains and selectable output offsets. The gain can be set from 1 to 1000 with a single resistor change. Gains of 1 and 22.28 are provided.

  • Page 5: Chapter 2: Connections

    Chapter 2: Connections Power Supply Connections A single SDAIBB board requires 8 mA at 10 to 30 VDC, and can be brought directly into the board through terminal blocks or solder pads marked POWER and GND or passed from another board connected to the male side of the board.

  • Page 7: Input Voltage Connections

    Input Voltage Connections The SDAIBB can receive signals in the range of –0.15 to +5 VDC when set to unity gain, and –0.15 to +3.5 VDC when set to any other gain. Note: This voltage reading is taken from GND on the SDAIBB to Input+ and GND to Input- voltages.
  • Page 8: Output Voltage Connections

    Figure 5: Floating Differential Signal Output Voltage Connections The SDAIBB outputs voltages from +0.1 to +5.0 VDC at unity gain, and +0.1 to +4.95 VDC at any other gain. All lines are carried straight through on the DB25 connectors, allowing for the addition of extra channels by connecting on another board.

  • Page 11: Chapter 3: Configuration

    Chapter 3: Configuration Output Offset The output offset is the amount by which the output is shifted. Equation 1 shows how the output offset affects the output of the buffer. The negative output rail will clip any reading that has a negative input differential unless the buffer’s output offset is raised.

  • Page 13: Maximum Gain

    Maximum Gain The maximum gain for a known differential voltage and common mode voltage can easily be determined using the following set of equations. Equation 5 calculates the maximum gain based on the positive internal rail of the amplifier. Equation 6 gives the maximum gain based on the negative internal rail of the amplifier.
  • Page 14: Gain Resistor Determination

    Gain Resistor Determination Replacing a single resistor changes the gain on each buffer. Change R1 to modify the gain on channel A, R2 to change channel B, R7 to change channel C, and R8 to change channel D. Use Equation 8 to determine the value of the gain resistor to attain a calculated gain.
  • Page 15: Maximum And Minimum Common Mode Voltage

    Maximum and Minimum Common Mode Voltage If the differential voltage range and desired gain are known, the maximum and minimum common mode voltage can be determined. Equation 10 is used to calculate the maximum common mode voltage knowing the gain and the differential voltage. Equation 11 is used to calculate the minimum common mode voltage.
  • Page 16: Maximum Differential

    Maximum Differential To determine the maximum differential voltage that can be amplified, the gain and the common mode voltage must be known first. Using this information, the most positive the differential voltage may be is calculated using Equation 12. Equation 13 is used to calculate the most negative that the differential voltage may swing.

    Appendix A: Glossary Common Mode Voltage voltage swings. When this is measured on the SDAIBB it is calculated with all voltage readings taken in reference to GND of the SDAIBB as . Note that when one of the inputs is connected to GND of the SDAIBB the common mode voltage changes as the differential voltage changes.
