Description Frequency Devices' Model VM32PA2.0 comprises a family of VMEbus amplifier boards offering software programmable differential amplifiers in a single width B-size (6U) VME form factor. VM32PA2.0 boards provide simultaneous access to 32, DC-coupled wideband signals while providing programmable gain from -12dB to +36dB, in 6dB steps for signal bandwidths >100 kHz to 2.0 MHz. VM32PA2.0 boards may be configured with 8, 16 or 32 channels. The boards conform to VME revision C.1 as an A16/D16 Slave. Available options include AC coupled input and/or differential output. Features/Benefits: Simultaneous access over 32 channels offers a low cost, versatile and convenient way to provide programmable amplification. Three active read/write registers provide programming and set-up verification. Phase match of ±2.0° and gain accuracy of ±0.1 dB provides precision performance solutions to design engineers, system integrators and OEM's. High channel count density without sacrificing performance maximizes chassis utilization.     Applications Sonar, navigation & Aerospace Engine test and simulation Acoustic and vibration analysis Laboratory R & D Satellite & Telecommunications Laboratory R & D Automatic test equipment (ATE) Industrial process control Gain Amplifier PGA5-2.0   -12 dB to +36 dB in 6 dB steps         Specifications (@ 25°C and rated power input) Analog Input Impedance: 1 MΩ differential, 500 kΩ to ground, each leg Linear Input Range: 8V pk-pk, each leg CMRR: >/=50 dB, DC to 100 kHz, >/=40 dB, 100 kHz to 2.0 MHz Maximum Input Range: 20V pk-pk, each leg AC Couple (Optional Fixed Freq.): 20 Hz to 1.0 kHz Analog Output Impedance: 50 Ω, single-ended Drive Capability: >/=50 Ω load impedance Linear Operating Range: 2V pk-pk Offset Voltage: <25 mV typ. at output Offset Temp.
