  • Page 20 In differential mode, the following two requirements must be met for linear operation: Any analog input must remain in the −10V to +20V range with respect to ground at all times. The maximum differential voltage on any given analog input pair must remain within the selected voltage range.
  • Page 21: Analog Output Terminals (D/A Out 0 And D/A Out 1)

    Since the analog inputs are restricted to a −10 V to +20 V signal swing with respect to ground, all ranges except ±20V can realize a linear output for any differential signal with zero common mode voltage and full scale signal inputs.

    The primary error sources in the UMDAS 0802DA are offset and gain. Nonlinearity is small in the UMDAS 0802DA, and is not significant as an error source with respect to offset and gain. Figure 3-10 shows an example of an ideal, error-free, UMDAS 0802DA transfer function. The typical calibrated accuracy of the UMDAS 0802DA is range-dependent, as explained in the "Specifications"...
  • Page 24 The offset error is measured at mid-scale. Ideally, a zero volt input should produce an output code of 8192. Any deviation from this is an offset error. shows an example of a UMDAS 0802DA transfer function with a ±2.44 mV offset error. Offset error Figure 3-11 affects all codes equally by shifting the entire transfer function up or down along the input voltage axis.
  • Page 25 Figure 3-12. ADC Transfer function with gain error Figure 3-12 shows an example of a UMDAS 0802DA transfer function with a calibrated gain error of ±0.02%, or ±2 mV. This means that at full scale, neglecting the effect of offset for the moment, the measurement would be within 2 mV of the actual value.
