Burr-Brown Extends Family of Easy-To-Use Data Converters for Industrial Applications.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 1998--Burr-Brown Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter 716, a high resolution, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter See D/A converter. (DAC) with serial microprocessor interface which extends the Company's successful line of high performance, general purpose DACs ideal for industrial process and control applications. The DAC716 converts a digital signal from a microprocessor into an analog output to precisely control a "real world" action. The converter's high resolution makes the DAC716 well suited for controlling industrial operations such as robotic movements, motor speed control, and equipment motion controllers. For example, incorporating the DAC716 into a robotic system robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing of goods and services Surgery An AI-based surgical assistant system, which processes sensory input from haptic interfaces and/or allows surgeons to act with more accuracy than allows the robot to be more precisely positioned--measurements could be resolved to within 1/65th of a millimeter in a one meter range. "With single pin connection of the signal, the DAC716 gives customers an easy-to-use serial interface for connecting a DAC to a microcontroller," said Don Travers, strategic marketing manager at Burr-Brown. "In addition, the DAC716 extends Burr-Brown's established family of small 16-bit DACs and offers designers the opportunity to improve the performance of their system while using less board space." According to Intex Management Services, the worldwide market for digital-to-analog converters will exceed $690 million in 1998. The DAC716 includes a +10V temperature compensated voltage reference, current-to-voltage amplifier, a high speed synchronous serial interface, a serial output which allows cascading multiple converter, and an asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. clear function which immediately sets the output voltage to zero. The output voltage range is 0V to +10V while operating from +/-12V to +/-15V supplies, and the gain and bipolar offset adjustments are designed so they can be set via external potentiometers or external DACs. Other features include 600mW power dissipation and fast settling time (10 micro-seconds to 0.5 LSB (Linux Standard Base) A standard interface (ABI) for Linux from the Linux Foundation (www.linux-foundation.org). Introduced in 2001 by the Free Standards Group, which later became the Linux Foundation, applications based on the LSB standard will run properly under ). DAC716 is priced from $10.40 in 1000s and available in plastic 0.3" DIP and wide-body plastic SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. packages. Delivery is from stock.
