While the world continues to become more digital where compute power and digital functionality are more critical, the need to measure the environment and interact with real-world devices remains an analogue function. To operate at the boundary of digital and analogue domains, processors must include mixed-signal inputs/outputs and accommodate more software-programmable ranges to be considered for many industrial, instrumentation, and automation applications.
Analogue Devices has published a reference design for a flexible, multichannel mixed-signal analogue I/O module. The 16 single-ended analogue outputs are software configurable, with ranges of 0 V to 5 V, ±5 V, 0 V to 10 V, and ±15 V. Eight channels of fully differential analogue input are provided, with hardware-selectable input ranges of 0 V to 2,5 V, ±13,75 V, and
0 V to 27,5 V. All power rails are derived directly from the host Raspberry Pi SBC.
The circuit is designed to mount directly on top of a Raspberry Pi, providing this popular single-board computer with an analogue I/O interface. Software control is accessible through the Linux industrial input/output (IIO) framework, providing a host of debug and development utilities, cross-platform application programming interface (API) with language bindings for C, C#, MATLAB, and Python.
