General Description
The PCI-DAS4020/12 is an ultra high speed, analog input board for PCI bus computers. It provides four, 12-bit analog inputs with sample rates up to 20 MHz, 24 bits of digital I/O, and two, 12-bit analog outputs.

Central to the board is a powerful System Timing Controller (STC) chip. The STC controls all A/D sampling including a 64-Ksample A/D FIFO. This functionality is based on the STC use of an on-board 32K x 24 SRAM. The board provides bus-mastering and scatter-gather functionality to assure the desired system timing is maintained.

The PCI-DAS4020/12 is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches, jumpers, or potentiometers on the board. All board addresses, interrupt channels etc. are set by your computer’s plug-and-play software. Even calibration is performed via software by using on-board digital potentiometers and trim D/A converters.

Accuracy
Board error is a combination of Gain, Offset, Integral Linearity, and Differential Linearity error. The overall absolute worst-case error of the board can be calculated by summing these component errors. Worst-case error occurs only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are at their maximum level, and are causing error in the same direction.

Each PCI-DAS4020/12 board is tested at the factory to make sure that its actual worst case error is less than ±5.0 LSB. Allowing for a 10% guard-band, the absolute worst-case error of a board ship is ±5.5 LSB. Typical accuracy can be calculated from the various component typical errors in a similar fashion. This typical, maximum error calculation for the PCI-DAS4020/12 board yields ±3.4 LSB. However, this again assumes that each of the errors is forcing an error in the same direction. Empirical evidence supports a conservative typical error budget of ±3.0 LSB.

Accuracy
Absolute Accuracy ±5.5 LSB worst case error (either range)
Typical Accuracy ±3.0 LSB error (either range)

Accuracy Components
Gain Error ±2.0 LSB max, ±1.0 LSB typ
Offset Error ±1.5 LSB max, ±1.0 LSB typ
Integral Linearity error ±2.5 LSB max, ±1.0 LSB typ
Differential Linearity error ±1.0 LSB max , ±0.4 LSB typ (No missing codes guaranteed)
