INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The OP5330 digital to analog converter (DAC) provides 16 single-ended digital output channels. Each
channel uses a 16-bit resolution digital-to-analog converter.
The OP5330 is a part of the OP5000 series of optional modules for OPAL-RT’s state of the art HIL
(hardware-in-the-loop) systems, intended for use with OPAL-RT carrier boards (see “Hardware
Requirements” on previous page). Designed for OPAL-RT’s simulation systems, the OP5330 converts
digital signals to analog.
Each OP5330 can sample up to 1 MS/s, giving a total throughput of 8 MS/s, all channels are
simultaneously sampled. The onboard EEPROM provides offset and gain data adjustment written
during the calibration process, as well as over-voltage protection.
By default, the maximum output signal is set to ±16 volts.
OFFSET AND GAIN CALIBRATION
The OP5330 contains a serial EEPROM to store the module identification, calibration information and
other important information. Each OP5330 is factory calibrated after assembly; during calibration, gain
and offset are adjusted to ensure accurate target output values at ±20 mV noise and offset.
