INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The OP5330 digital to analog converter (DAC) provides 16 single-ended digital output channels. Each
channel uses a 16-bit resolution digital-to-analog converter.
The OP5330 is a part of the OP5000 series of optional modules for OPAL-RT’s state of the art HIL
(hardware-in-the-loop) systems, intended for use with OPAL-RT carrier boards (see “Hardware
Requirements” on previous page). Designed for OPAL-RT’s simulation systems, the OP5330 converts
digital signals to analog.
Each OP5330 can sample up to 1 MS/s, giving a total throughput of 8 MS/s, all channels are
simultaneously sampled. The onboard EEPROM provides offset and gain data adjustment written
during the calibration process, as well as over-voltage protection.
By default, the maximum output signal is set to ±16 volts.
OFFSET AND GAIN CALIBRATION
The OP5330 contains a serial EEPROM to store the module identification, calibration information and
other important information. Each OP5330 is factory calibrated after assembly; during calibration, gain
and offset are adjusted to ensure accurate target output values at ±20 mV noise and offset.

Module Installation and configuration
Circuit Layout Diagrams
MODULE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
The OP5330 digital to analog converter must be inserted into the OPAL-RT carrier
board using great care. Two polarized connectors fasten the module in the suitable
position and four screws affix it for a more secure connection to the carrier.
Make sure that the connectors are properly aligned; they should fit together easily.
Use light pressure to push the OP5330 board into the carrier board.
The OP5330 module can only be used with OPAL-RT’s carrier boards. Its location
and identification on the carrier board are determined by the FPGA controller
bitstream.
CIRCUIT LAYOUT DIAGRAMS
When the OP5330 is installed on the carrier board, only the top of the circuit board is visible, as shown
in Figure 1. The connectors are located on the bottom of the board (see Figure 2) and fit snugly into the
connectors on the carrier.

Schematics
SCHEMATICS
Figure 3 represents a simplified schematic of one channel of the OP5330 module. It is composed of
three stages: the first stage consists of one gain DAC and one offset DAC; the second stage consists of
a signal DAC with an operational amplifier that allows for gain adjustments; the third stage consists of
an operational amplifier that receives final signal value and integrates the offset.
