Digital I/O
• The digital reference is intended primarily for pull-ups on the digital
lines. Current output is limited by a series resistor, so little external
circuitry can be powered. Because it is connects to all the digital
circuitry, it’s a bad idea to use it for any analog input signal
conditioning.
• Digital channels have to be polled. Polling speed depends on the
PC speed, OS, and what other apps are running. Our tests here
indicate a 4-8 millisecond polling interval. If you need to catch a
shorter period signal, you must add external latch circuitry.
Calibration
• Input or outputs should not be calibrated exactly at the rails (0V, 5V)
one diode drop below the rails is easy to achieve and provides a fairly
stable voltage.
• Input and output calibration values can most easily be determined by
connecting one of the D/A outputs into one of the A/D inputs to
compare input & output readings with your standard.
• Wait for calibration voltage to stabilize.
• Make sure calibration is at operating temperature.
• Make sure to ground any unused inputs.
• Make sure to read calibration voltage with UD128A8D connected.
• The more accurate the calibration test equipment the better.
