Setting Up Your Conditioned Inputs
As they comes from the factory, the conditioned inputs have a
0–10V input range. The socketed resistors are 2370 Ω (gain) and
39.2 kΩ (bias) respectively.
You can have any input range you want, simply by changing
the gain and bias resistors. The following tables present some
useful input ranges. The table values require 1% resistors and
have been adjusted from the theoretical values to account for
tolerance.

Using the Unconditioned Channels
The unconditioned channels are CH4–CH10.

For optimal results, drive the unconditioned inputs with low-
impedance voltage sources. Operational amplifiers (such as the
LM660) are ideal for the purpose. High-impedence signal
sources are susceptible to noise.
Low-Pass Filter
The 0.01 µF capacitors in the op-amp circuitry function as low-
pass filters. The filter characteristics depend on the resistors
you select. The 3dB corner frequency is given by

If the input range is 10V, for example, the gain resistor is 2370Ω
and the 3dB corner frequency is 6715.4 Hz.
Drift
The AD680JT voltage reference has a typical drift of 10 ppm per
°C and a maximum drift of 30 ppm per °C. These values corre-
spond to 25 (typ) and 75 (max) µV per °C and 1.75 (typ) and
5.25 (max) mV over the range 0–70°C.
The LMC662C op-amp has an offset voltage drift of 1.3 µV per
°C, or 910 µV over the range 0–70°C.
Other contributers to overall drift are the 10K resistors R21–
R24. These have temperature coefficients of ±100 ppm per °C,
or 1W per °C. But, because they are small, surface-mounted re-
sistors, all close to each other, their temperature deviations
match closely.
Using the Analog Inputs
Software is available to read and to calibrate the analog inputs.
Once calibrated, the calibration values reside in non-volatile
memory. All subsequent analog readings will use the calibra-
tion values and give the best possible value.
ADC4 Board IDs
You can address up to 16 ADC4 boards on a single bus, since
four different PALs are available and the address jumpers J4
and J5 can be set four different ways:
0000 1100 ppxy
x = 1 when J5 is open, else 0
y = 1 when J4 is open, else 0.
The bits pp are determined by the PAL number.

The DAC2 board has two digital-to-analog output channels.
Each of these can be operated either as a voltage source or a
current source. The default range for voltage output is 0–10V.
The default range for current output is 0–22 mA. The D/A
chips—AD7543s—have a linearity of ±1 LSB and a gain stabil-
ity of about 5 ppm per °C.
