and can be either 0 or 1. channel 0 is on pin 17 and
1 is on pin 19.
value is the value to output from 0 to 4095.
Use the following table to convert from a desired voltage
to a value.
Range Formula
0 to 5V value= V * 819
0 to 10V value= V * 409.5
-5 to + 5V value= V * 409.5 + 2047.5
The result of the formula produces a number which can
be used in place of value.
Output Current
D/A output impedance is 0. 5 ohms. Short cir cuit
current is 40 mA . T he analog po wer su pply limits this
current to something a little less. Practical maximum
output current from a D/A is 10 mA.
Noise
Analog outputs generate noise in the 100KHz +
frequency ran ge. Many devices ar e not affected by this
noise. However, if noise is a problem, put a capacitor
(1 µF or so) on the output. Pads are provided at C23
and C24 near J7. C23 filters output 0 and C24 filters
output 1.
4-20 mA. OUTPUT
Two 4-20 mA. outputs are optionally available.
Interface is at J12. Current outputs are driven by the
voltage DAC' s. Configur e each DAC used for 0-10V
output to drive the curr ent output.
Analog output 1 may be optionally used for software
contrast control on the LCD graphics display. When it
is used for this purpose, 4-20 mA output may not be
used for this channel.
When you use a DAC to drive a current output, it cannot
be used for voltage output.
Current output is proportional to the DAC voltage
driving it. To program a current, you program a voltage
using the AOT command. T hus, 0 V output supplies 4
mA. output while 10V output supplies 20 mA.
The following table lists J12 pin number, DAC , and
current output.

Jumper W12 for 0-10V output for each channel you will
use as current output. See table in Analog Output above
for jumper instructions.
IC Installation
Current output IC’s are installed in U30 and U31. See
Figure 8-5 for location. The notch in the IC designates
the top. Pin 1 is the upper left of the chip. Orient the
board as shown in Figure 8-5 and install the chips in U30
for channel 0 and/ or U 31 for ch annel 1, keeping pin 1 to
the upper left.
