Analog output devices

Low-cost, high-drive devices

This series of devices uses integrated high-drive voltage outputs, and doesn't need external high-drive amplifiers. The proprietary architecture nearly wipes out dead-band codes, and the products are calibrated at the factory to be ready for deployment right out of the box. They are fully compatible with USB1.1 and 2.0 ports, and work with Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. Each of the voltage outputs can sink/source up to 40 milliamperes of load current, and a bi-directional synchronization pin lets users update the DAC outputs on multiple devices simultaneously. The USB-3110 offers four analog voltage output channels, eight digital I/O connections and a single 32-bit event counter. The USB-3112 has eight analog voltage outputs, and the USB-3114 has 16. They are 5 inches wide, 3.4 inches long and 1.4 inches high. They come with a USB cable, ac power adapter, and setup and program writing software.
