Description
The CS4373A is a high-performance, differential output
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with programmable at-
tenuation and multiple operational modes. AC test
modes measure system dynamic performance through
THD and CMRR tests while DC test modes are for gain
calibration and pulse tests.
The CS4373A is driven by a
∆Σ digital bit stream from the
CS5376A digital filter test bit stream (TBS) generator. It
has two sets of differential analog outputs, OUT and
BUF, to simplify system design as dedicated outputs for
testing the electronics channel and for in-circuit sensor
tests. Analog output attenuation is selected by simple pin
settings and matches the gain of the
CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers for full-scale
testing at all gain ranges.
The CS4373A test DAC provides self-test and precision
calibration capability for high-resolution, low-frequency
multi-channel measurement systems designed from
CS3301A / CS3302A differential amplifiers,
CS5371A / CS5372A
∆Σ modulators and the CS5376A
digital filter.
