• **Output Voltage Ranges:** Individually configurable per channel — ±5 V, ±10 V, or 0 to +10 V
• **Output Current:** ±5 mA maximum
• **D/A Converters:** 5 parallel converters
## Key Features
• Independent voltage range selection per channel enables flexible signal conditioning without external components
• Fast settling time of 1.6 µs supports high-bandwidth control loops
• 14-bit resolution provides adequate precision for industrial and automotive control applications
• 10.0 µs sample time supports real-time execution with deterministic timing
• Board-level form factor integrates directly into dSPACE real-time platforms
## Typical Applications
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and testing
• Real-time control prototyping and verification
• Motor control and power electronics testing
• Vehicle and powertrain simulation
• Industrial automation controller development
## Compatibility & Integration
Full integration with dSPACE’s Real-Time Interface (RTI) allows direct configuration from Simulink® models. RTI libraries provide pre-built blocks for rapid development, eliminating manual hardware register management. Configuration of output ranges and timing parameters occurs within the Simulink environment, enabling straightforward model-based design workflows.
