Description
The Part Number 777576B-02 refers to a PXI Embedded Controller specifically designed for integration within PXI systems. This model, PXI-8155, is engineered with a focus on reliability and performance, featuring a hard drive optimized for use with Windows NT. It is a key component for users requiring a robust storage solution within their PXI systems.
With built-in I/O capabilities, this controller ensures a standard level of connectivity, allowing for seamless integration with a variety of peripherals and systems. The inclusion of onboard PCI video enhances the utility of this device by providing direct video output capabilities, which is a significant advantage for systems requiring visual output.
Interestingly, this model does not require a PCI to PCI Bridge, streamlining its architecture and potentially reducing latency. It boasts a PCI Bandwidth of 132 MB/s, ensuring swift data transfer rates that can greatly benefit performance-intensive applications. Furthermore, its capacity to support masters in all 7 slots of PXI chassis provides a high degree of flexibility and expandability.
The mass storage capabilities of the PXI-8155 are notable, featuring a 1.44 MB floppy drive and a 2.5-inch hard drive with a 2 GB capacity. This allows for substantial data storage and easy software installations or updates via the floppy drive. Its peripheral I/O options are comprehensive, including Super VGA, a serial port, an IEEE 1284 parallel port, a USB connector, and PS/2 ports for a keyboard and mouse, which collectively accommodate a wide range of external connections.
The controller is equipped with 16 MB of installed EDO DRAM, which is upgradeable, allowing users to enhance the memory based on their specific needs. It supports both ISA bus and PCI local bus types, providing flexibility in bus architecture and ensuring compatibility with a broad range of components and systems. The PCI
