Isolated 16-bit Voltage Output Phidget

Generating extremely precise voltages is easy with this Phidgets voltage output module. It is designed to interface with devices that are controlled by an analog voltage signal. Simply plug it in to a VINT port, and you’ll be able to set a voltage in your program between -10 and +10 volts with 16 bit resolution (300μV) at a current of up to 5mA (See the Connection & Compatibility tab for a list of VINT Hubs). If the attached device draws more than 5mA and the voltage begins to drop below the value specified, a warning event will be launched so your program can take an appropriate action. This Phidget is factory calibrated to ensure output accuracy.

Selectable Voltage Range

Need higher resolution? The output on this Phidget also has a 0 to 5V terminal that can be used instead of the ±10 terminal, yielding a resolution of 76μV. Both terminals are controlled as the same object in software and cannot be used at the same time.

Isolated for Stability

This board is electrically isolated from input to output, protecting your system fom instability caused by unintentional ground loops. If you need update speed more than isolation or voltage range, have a look at the VINT 12-bit Voltage Output 4V.
