A
A amperes
AC alternating current
ACH analog input channel signal
A/D analog-to-digital
ADC analog-to-digital converter—an electronic device, often an integrated
circuit, that converts an analog voltage to a digital number
ADC resolution the resolution of the ADC, which is measured in bits. An ADC with 16 bits
has a higher resolution, and thus a higher degree of accuracy, than a 12-bit
ADC.
AI analog input
AIGATE analog input gate signal
AIGND analog input ground signal
AISENSE analog input sense signal
ANSI American National Standards Institute
AO analog output
AOGND analog output ground signal
ASIC Application-Specific Integrated Circuit—a proprietary semiconductor
component designed and manufactured to perform a set of specific
functions for a specific customer
B
base address a memory address that serves as the starting address for programmable
registers. All other addresses are located by adding to the base address.
bipolar a voltage range spanning both negative and positive voltages
breakdown voltage the voltage high enough to cause breakdown of optical isolation,
semiconductors, or dielectric materials. Also see working voltage.
