Keysight Technologies Launches New Converter

Keysight Technologies has launched the M9188A, a PXI-based, 16-channel, single-slot unipolar dynamic digital/analog converter. The device is capable of supplying typical waveforms of up to +30V, eliminating the need for engineers to design and develop signal conditioning circuits for applications, the company states.

The M9188A provides a variable current source and pulse waveforms of up to +20A, helping users achieve a lower cost of test resulting in lower capital expenditure requirements. With the variable current source, users to not need an additional current transformer or source measure unit for application tests requiring current source signals.

Equipped with 1MB available per memory channel, the M9188A can act like a basic arbitrary waveform generator by simulation waveforms with a sampling period from 2 µs to 512 µs at up to 500 kSa/s update rate.

The system is ideal for mechatronics testing, automotive electronics testing and functional test systems requiring isolated biasing channels.
