June 15, 2013. Data Translation has announced that it has increased the performance of its 4- and 8-channel analog output modules to provide continuous waveform streaming. These DAC modules, the DT9853 and DT9854, now allow up to 8-kHz waveforms to be supplied for industrial testing, control-loop, and process-control applications.
“Industrial customers have liked the galvanic isolation and current output capability of the DT9853/4 series, but needed continuous output to operate valves, motors, and energy-control devices,” said Fred Molinari, CEO.
The DT9853 and DT9854 offer voltage outputs of 0 to 10V, ±10V, and 0 to 20 mA for current drive outputs to reduce line drop errors. The output DACs are 16-bit, have 16 lines of digital I/O, and have one 32-bit counter timer at 1-MHz to measure events.
Prices range from $605 for a 4-channel voltage-output model to $815 for an 8-channel current-output version.
