Dual Systems --  AOM-12  Digital to Analog Board

The AOM-12 was a 4 channel, high precision digital to analog converter board for the IEEE-696 S-100 bus.

Duals Systems DtoA Board

The board had 12-bit +/- 1/2 L.S.B accuracy over full 0 to 70°C temperature range. Voltage outputs could be 0 to 10 volts, ±5 volts, and ±10 volts, jumper selectable. There was short-circuit protection on all voltage outputs.  A switch-programmable port base address selection allowed the use of multiple boards. You had the choice of straight binary or two's complement notation and all outputscould be reset to zero volts during power-up.

The AOM-12 analog output module is a 12-bit, 4-channel digital-to-analog (D-to-A) converter which converts digital commands from the computer into analog voltages.

Analog Connections
Analog voltage outputs leave the AOM-12 through a rugged 34-pin male PCB header located  at the top of the board. The header is arranged with alternate ground wires between all output lines to minimize crosstalk between channels.

Software

The AOM-12 was simple to use and could be controlled using the "OUT" instruction in either BASIC or Assembly Language. Multiple AOM boards could be used in a system.
