16-Channel Analog Output PC/104 Module 

 
Ruby-MM-1612 is a PC/104-format data acquisition board that provides analog outputs and digital I/O for 
process control and other applications. Below is a summary of key features: 
 

Ruby-MM-1612 has 16 analog voltage outputs with 12-bit resolution (1 part in 4096).

 Note: Analog output, D/A, and DAC are all used interchangeably in this manual. 

Six different preset ranges are available, including both bipolar and unipolar ranges. 

One of the preset ranges (2.5V full-scale) can be adjusted by the user to any voltage between 
approximately 1V and 2.5V. 

All 16 analog outputs are updated simultaneously. This prevents time skew errors which can 
result from updating outputs sequentially on a system which requires two or more control signals 
to change simultaneously. 

An external trigger signal can be connected to the board. This trigger can be used to update the 
analog outputs. The trigger is enabled in software. 

An 82C55 chip is included to provide 24 lines of digital I/O. Each line has a 10K

Ω

 pull-up resistor. 

Each line is CMOS / TTL compatible and can supply up to ±2.5mA of current. 

Ruby-MM-1612 requires only +5VDC from the system power supply for operation. It generates its 
own ±15V supplies for the analog circuitry on board using four miniature DC/DC converters.
