Description
The DAQPad-6508 is a Digital I/O Device with part numbers 777661-01, 777661-06, and 777661-07. This device interfaces through USB, offering a convenient connection to most modern computer systems. It is specifically designed to cater to various power supply needs, with versions available for Japan (100VAC under part number 777661-07) and the United Kingdom (240VAC under part number 777661-06).
One of the key features of the DAQPad-6508 is its inclusion of four 24-bit Programmable Peripheral Interfaces (PPIs), allowing for flexible and sophisticated control schemes. The device supports a transfer rate of up to 60 samples per second, making it capable of handling moderately fast digital signal processing tasks.
With 96-bit, bi-directional, 5 V static I/O lines, the DAQPad-6508 can manage a wide array of digital inputs and outputs. It supports both TTL and CMOS signal levels, enhancing its compatibility with a broad range of digital devices. Furthermore, it is capable of delivering an output signal current of up to 0.5A at +5 VDC on specific pins (49 and 99), with a current drive of 2.5 mA per channel or up to 240 mA in total.
The power requirement for this device is up to 12 W at a DC voltage range of 9–30 VDC. When connected via USB, it typically requires 220 mA, with a maximum of 500 mA at a voltage range of 4.40–5.25 VDC. For connectivity, it features a 100-pin female, 0.050 series D-type data connector, ensuring a reliable and durable connection for data transfer.
