A functional block diagram of the IP-FASTDAC is presented below in Figure 1-1. The IP-FASTDAC operates as a slave that is managed by the host processor on the IP bus. The IP-FASTDAC is supported by ALPHI Technology under Windows NT by a Board Support Package which is supplied with the card.
IP-FASTDAC REFERENCE MANUAL 2. INTERNAL ORGANIZATION The IP-FASTDAC card is divided into different sections. Each section and its relationship to other sections will be discussed. The IP-FASTDAC sections are: • IP interface • Analog Output 2.1 IP INTERFACE 2.1.1 IDSPACE An EEPROM memory that occupies 2 Kbytes of address space is for providing information about the module to the user.
2.1.2 IOSPACE 2.1.2.1 LOCAL REGISTERS The IP-FASTDAC module uses 8 - LTC1821 Ultra precise fast setting V-out D/A converters from Linear Technology. A double buffered interface is used to transfer incoming data to the output. The first 8 ($00 - $0E) addresses are used to pre-load data into the first stage of each D/A converter.
The on board EEPROM provides 2K – 32bytes space available for the user. 2.2 ANALOG OUTPUT The IP-FASTDAC has eight analog outputs each with its own buffer. The outputs are +/- 10 Volts. LTC 1821 (16bit Ultra Precise, Fast Settling Vout DAC)

0000 0000 0000 0000 - Vref OUTPUT BUFFER IP-FASTDAC can be configured with either a high speed, high output current (BUF634) or High speed, low offset voltage (OPA132) input buffers. The specs are below for each device. BUF634 ( 250mA High-Speed Input Buffer)
IP-FASTDAC REFERENCE MANUAL 3. JUMPER SETTINGS The IP-FASTDAC allows the possible of configuring each DAC channel for internal or external Vref supply. See chart below for configuration possibility. Factory default for Vref is internal +10 volts. A +5volt internal Vref can be accommodated upon request.
