The MindWave DAC is a software-based digital-to-analog converter that delivers high-precision analog signals at low frequencies within a scalable and cost-effective design. Our DAC is designed to receive high-resolution digital data and convert it into a current with a 10kHz bandwidth. This current driver capability smoothly operates across loads of 220 to 680 ohms, delivering current ranging from -4 to +4 mA, all within an impressive 5% margin of error. With verified 12-bit resolution and expandable for 16-bit capability, the MindWave DAC shines in applications demanding precise signals at low frequencies, spanning from medical devices that measure brain waves to quantum sensors and telecommunications. Versatile and reliable, the MindWave DAC can be used for any application that requires a high-precision analog signal!
