Description
The NI 9260 is a part of the C Series Analog Output category, identified by the part number 156742B-01L. This module is specifically designed for audio output applications, featuring a Mini XLR connector, and is capable of supporting two channels. The NI 9260 stands out with its connectivity options, offering both BNC (783466-01) and Mini-XLR (783467-01) connectors to accommodate different setup requirements.
One of the key specifications of the NI 9260 is its update rate, which can reach up to 51.2 thousand samples per second, ensuring high-fidelity audio reproduction. The output range of this module is 3 Vrms, with a high resolution of 24-bit, making it suitable for precise audio applications. Additionally, it is designed to handle up to two channels simultaneously, allowing for stereo output configurations.
When it comes to safety and durability, the NI 9260 is equipped with short circuit and ±30 V overvoltage protection, ensuring the longevity of the module even in demanding conditions. The output stage for BNC connectivity is pseudo-differential, with the analog output terminated through a 50 Ohm resistor to ground. For Mini-XLR connectivity, the output stage is balanced and fully differential, offering superior audio quality.
The digital-to-analog conversion in the NI 9260 is achieved through a 24-bit, Delta-Sigma type converter, ensuring high precision in audio reproduction. This module also supports DC output coupling, enhancing its versatility in various applications. The gain error of the NI 9260 is minimal, at ±0.6% or ±0.05 dB, and the offset error is equally low, at ±0.7% or ±30 mV, indicating the module’s high accuracy.
Despite its advanced features, the power consumption of the NI 9260 is remarkably low, with a maximum of 0.93 Watts, making it an energy-efficient choice for audio output applications. This combination of high performance, safety features, and low power consumption makes the NI 9260 an excellent choice for users seeking a reliable and high-quality audio output module.
