DAC-12100 : DATEL Low Cost, Ultra-High Speed 12-bit Digital to Analog Converter Suits High Reliability Military and Aerospace Applications

  • 100MHz conversion rate
  • Low power, 650mW, typical
  • TTL/CMOS compatible inputs
  • 20ns settling time
  • Full 883 and LM/QL versions available
DATEL today announced the DAC-12100 series of low power 12-bit current output digital to analog converters that have TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. With a 100 MHz conversion rate, these ultra-high speed devices suit any speed critical applications such as radar, signal reconstruction, waveform generators and communications equipment.

With an extremely low glitch energy characteristic of 3.0 pV-s compared to the industry norm of 100 pV-s, the DAC-12100 generates very little switching noise. The complementary current outputs of 0 to -20.48 mA can directly drive 50 ohm loads. Dynamic performance, to Nyquist at fOUT of 2.02 MHz, provides a spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) specification of – 85 dB.

The converter uses a R/2R resistor network and a segmented switching current cell arrangement in order to reduce glitch energy. Employing laser trimming of the resistor network ensures the device achieves its 12-bit linearity to within 0.5 LSB across the transfer curve.

The DAC-12100 is available in a hermetically sealed 28-pin CLCC solder dipped leads package measuring 11.43 x 11.43 mm (0.45 x 0.45 inches). Designed for harsh and rugged application environments, particularly those experienced in military and avionic platforms, the highly reliable converter is guaranteed to operate over the extended temperature range of – 55 degrees C to + 125 degrees C. The converter meets all MIL-PRF-38534 standard requirements.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
