GENERAL OPERATION
The HDAS devices accept either 16 single-ended or 8 differential input signals.
For single-ended circuits, the AMP INLOW (pin 50) input to the instrumentation
amplifi er must terminate at ANALOG SIGNAL COMMON (pin 41). For differential
circuits, both the HIGH and LOW signal inputs must terminate externally for
each channel. Tie unused channels to the ANALOG SIGNAL COMMON (pin 41).
To obtain additional channels, connect external multiplexers to the AMP IN
HIGH (pin 49) and AMP IN LOW (pin 50). Using this scheme, the HDAS-16 can
provide 32 single-ended expansion channels while the HDAS-8 can provide
up to 16 differential expansion channels. MPS’s MX Series multiplexers are
recommended.
Calibration Procedures
1. Offset and gain adjustments are made by connecting two 20k trim potenti-
ometers as shown in Figure 2.
2. Connect a precision voltage source to pin 4 (CH0 IN). If the HDAS-8 is used,
connect pin 58 (CH0 LOW IN) to analog ground. Ground pin 20 (CLEAR) and
momentarily short pin8 (STROBE). Trigger the A/D by connecting pin 7 (EOC)
to pin 8 (STROBE). Select proper value for RGAIN and RDELAY by referring to
Table 3.
3. Adjust the precision voltage source to the value shown in Table 2 for the
unipolar zero adjustment (ZERO + 1/2LSB)or the bipolar offset adjustment
(–FS + 1/2LSB). Adjust the offset trim potentiometer so that the output code
fl ickers equally between 0000 0000 0000 and 0000 0000 0001.
4. Change the output of the precision voltage source to the value shown in
Table 2 for the unipolar or bipolar gain adjustment (+FS – 1 1/2LSB). Adjust
the gain trim potentiometer so that the output fl ickers equally between
1111 1111 1110 and 1111 1111 1111.
