Murata / Datel DVME-628 High Performance VME Data Acquisition Board

The Murata/Datel DVME-628 is a high-performance VMEbus Digital-to-Analog converter board engineered for demanding data acquisition and control applications. This 8-channel analog output module delivers 12-bit resolution with 6 microsecond settling time, making it ideal for process control, test instrumentation, and industrial systems requiring precise analog signal generation. The board integrates a high-speed DMA controller supporting sustained data transfer rates up to 35 M Bytes/sec between VMEbus and system memory, with individual DMA cycles capable of handling transfers up to 16 M bytes. Three selectable input coding schemes and five configurable analog output voltage ranges provide flexibility across diverse industrial environments.
