Maxim push Alameda subsystem reference design to add four high-precision analog output 

Summary: Maxim push Alameda subsystem reference design to add four high-precision analog output 

May 13, 2014, Beijing, China——Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) launched Alameda (MAXREFDES24 #) subsystem reference design (now start selling), so that designers can easily add four high-precision analog output in its industrial automation designs, the required 33% reduction compared with competing solutions components.

　　工Industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) require multiple, flexible configuration of high-precision analog output. Alameda subsystems in a single circuit board contains four high precision ("± 0.1%) and a high-output, low-noise power supply controller. Alameda offers great application flexibility: its output can be configured for ± 10V, ± 20mA, 0 to 10V or 4-20mA, suitable for current or voltage signal generation applications. The subsystem also has an automatic fault reporting feature that detects open circuit, short circuit, undervoltage and overtemperature faults, is the ideal choice for high precision industrial control and automation applications.

　　The main advantage

· Complete test: circuit schematics, layout files, firmware, and other design resources for immediate use and to customize design

· Fewer components: unique integrated architecture with competing solutions enable a 33% reduction compared to the number of components

· Accelerate the design process: Integrated high-power and four-channel analog outputs in a single compact system, effectively improve the noise performance, saving development time for engineers

· Improve system reliability PLC: automatically detects a short circuit, open circuit, undervoltage and overtemperature faults

　　Industry Evaluation

　　· David Andeen Maxim Integrated reference design manager, said: "By Alameda reference design, Maxim Integrated achieve the efficient power and precision analog outputs in a single design in another breakthrough, this is where the value of the reference design, these programs will help engineers to solve system-level design challenges in the design of industrial automation faced.
