PROGRAMMABLE FREQUENCY MODULE
AD Series - Module Filters

Digitally Programmable Filters

Our easy to use AD Series filter modules need no external components. Cut-off frequency can be precisely selected via TTL/CMOS digital inputs. Units operate up to 1 MHz with resolution up to 16 Bits. The outstanding feature of low
DC shift between settings is ideal for automation and multi-channel data acquisition.
