AMPLITUDE-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER BPA-03-8K-W1(-SA1)
INTERFACE OF BUS compactPCI

Units of format 3U (overall dimensions 160x100 mm) incorporate single-channel spectrometric ADCs and are used in industrial spectrometric systems.

They are made in two versions:
- BPA-03-8K-W1 (foto), Wilkinson ADC, resolution 2K - 8K, software-specified channel width adjusted in steps of 5 µV, input signal 50 mV - 10 V;
- BPA-03-8K-SA1 (foto), ADC with a constant conversion time of 3.5 µs, software-specified resolution 1K-2K-4K-8K and channel width of 5 mV, 2.5 mV, 1.25 mV, 0.625 mV, input signal 20 mV - 5 V.
