KAD/ADC/012
24-channel D/E analog-to-digital converter

FEATURES
• 24 Differential Ended (D/E) input channels
• Programmable digital gain, offset and filter cutoff for each
channel
• 14-bit simultaneous A/D sampling for each channel
• Input ranges from ±100mV to ±40V
• ±0.3% FSR total error from all sources (no input
attenuation)
• ±0.55% FSR total error from all sources (with input
attenuation)
• Up to 17,500 samples per second per channel
• Up to 1.2kHZ bandwidth
DESCRIPTION
The KAD/ADC/012 is used to condition and digitize up to 24
D/E analog channels.
At the heart of the KAD/ADC/012 is a hard-wired state
machine that over-samples all channels and digitally filters
any noise above the user-programmable cutoff frequency.
This is achieved using cascaded, half-band, decimate by two,
15-tap, finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters with 32-bit
coefficients.
The signal conditioning on KAD/ADC/012 consists of a
fixed-gain instrumentation amplifier with additional
attenuation resistors at the input stage. The combination of
instrumentation amplifier and attenuation resistor used
defines the input range options of the card: ±40V (with
attenuation resistor), ±10V, ±1V and ±100mV. Secondary
gain and offset are achieved digitally according to the
requested range.
