Analog_conversion_board

Content

The analog conversion board (ACB) scales down analog voltages from the ranges 0-10 V or 0-5 V to 0-1 V, in order to measure signals with the Au+ FPGA.

Channel configuration

Input

• analog signal in the range 0-10V or 0-5V.

Output

• analog signal in the range 0-1V.

Settings

• Division: whether the input analog signal is 0-10V (1/10) or 0-5V (1/5), the output of the board is 0-1V.
• output limitation:
  • voltage and current limitations: limits both voltage and current to prevent damaging the FPGA ADC.
  • limitations off: the output voltage and current are not limited.
  • both open, only current limitation.
