CP372 Preface

For Your Safety

Y our new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long
fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by
improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own
safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform
with the following guidelines.

High Voltage Safety Instructions

Warning!

All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.

Caution, Electric Shock!

Before installing your new Kontron product into a system always
ensure that yo ur mains power is switched off. This applies also to the
installation of piggybacks.

Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.

Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions

ESD Sensitive Device!

Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static elec­tricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations
and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at
all times.

Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational
purposes unless it is otherwise protected.

P R E L I M I N A R Y

25780.01.VC.021121/111236

Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.

It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggy­backs, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-st atic plas­tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or con ductive circuit s

Introduction CP372

1.2 Product Overview

The CP372 Analog Output Controller is a part of a co mprehensive concept to provide Compact­PCI system integrators with a complete range of CompactPCI I/O products which include the
functions of analog input, analog output, digital input, and digital output implemented as sepa­rate individual boards. This concept ensures a maximum degree of system design flexibility
thus allowing efficient and effective usage of available resources.

The basic functions of this board are to provide interfacing to the application software, perform
digital to analog signal conversion, and to make the analog output signal available to the appli­cation process. The major components involved in these processes are: the Digital to Analog
Conversion Process and Communications (DAC ProComm) controller which is realized in a
field-programmable gate array (FPGA), digital to analog converters (DACs), and the front end
(process side) signal conditioning. The DAC ProComm Controller is designed to provide effec­tive and efficient control of the digit al to analog conversion process as well as interfacing to the
CPCI System Controller.

The following table provides a quick overview of the CP372 board.
