Description
The 778572-40 is a high-performance PXI Switch with a part number of PXI-2540. It boasts a sophisticated 8×9 switching matrix configuration, making it suitable for a wide range of signal routing applications. This switch can efficiently handle frequencies up to 350 MHz, allowing for versatile usage in different testing and simulation environments.
One of the notable features of the PXI-2540 is its non-blocking design, which ensures that any input can be connected to any output without any path conflicts, enhancing its efficiency in complex routing scenarios. Additionally, it incorporates isolation relays in its design, which significantly improves signal integrity by minimizing crosstalk and leakage between channels.
The device utilizes MCX connectors, known for their compact size and reliability, making it an ideal choice for setups where space is at a premium and secure connections are essential. The PXI-2540 also supports channel expansion, allowing users to expand their configuration up to 8×24, 8×36, and even larger configurations with a minimal cable length requirement of 0.15 m for expansion, offering flexibility in accommodating growing testing needs.
For advanced applications, the PXI-2540 is equipped with a Scanner Advanced trigger, which facilitates precise control over signal routing and timing, enhancing the test system’s overall performance and accuracy. When it comes to RF performance at 350 MHz, this switch stands out with an insertion loss of less than 2.3 dB and isolation greater than 75 dB (typical), ensuring minimal signal degradation and excellent signal separation for high-quality measurements.
It is designed to operate within a maximum voltage/current limit of 60 V or 0.5 A, catering to a wide range of signal levels. Moreover, the inclusion of backplane triggering capability allows for seamless integration and synchronization with other modules in a PXI system, further enhancing its utility in complex testing and measurement setups.
