Mezzanine Modules

AP231AcroPack analog output mezzanine module with 16-bit DAC per channel

Manufacturer

The AP231 is an AcroPack mezzanine module that brings Industry Pack I/O to a PCIe interface while keeping the memory map and functionality in a rugged form factor. It is a COTS board for defense, aerospace, automation and laboratories: on a carrier hosting two AP modules you get up to 32 voltage outputs from a single card cage slot.

Each channel has its own D/A converter, so the glitches typical of the sample-and-hold reacquisition used in multiplexed output boards do not appear. Via software you can read the status of each output and the alarm function for brownout, short circuit and temperature above 150 °C.

Available configuration: AP231-16E-LF, 16 voltage outputs with 16-bit DAC.

At a glance

  • Six output ranges software selectable
  • Double-buffered data latch on every channel
  • Outputs at 0 volts on reset
  • Calibration coefficients stored on board
  • Linux, Windows and VxWorks support
