... This is because Vcc can vary ±5%, the pulse-width modulated outputs might not reach the full 0 V and 5 V rails out of the Rabbit 2000 micro- processor, and the gain resistors used in the circuit have a 1% tolerance.

... DA1 output depends on the smallest increment of time to change the on/off time (the time between 5 V and 0 V). The Jackrabbit uses the Rabbit 2000’s Port D control reg- isters to clock out the signal at a timer timeout. The timer used is timer B.

... It is important to remember that the DA0 output voltage will not be realized instantaneously after programming in a value. There is a settling time because of the RC time constant (R21 || R27 × C20), which is 7.68 ms. For example, the voltage at any given time is where V is the voltage at time t, V put voltage from the D/A converter, and RC is the time constant (7 ...

... The function void jrioInit() sets up parallel port D bits 1, 2, and 4 for analog output, port E bits 0–3 for digital output, and starts up the pulse-width modulation routines for the A/D and D/A channels.

... This delay is typically very small, about 15ns. The signal that turns the transistors high on the processor’s reset line, /RES. When the Jackrabbit is not in reset, the reset line will be high, turning on N-channel Q20 and Q22. Q22 is a simple inverter needed to turn on Q21, an P-channel MOSFET. When a reset occurs, the /RES line will go low. This will cause C23 to discharge through R42 and R40. This small delay (about 160 µ ...
