Description
The 196945B-01L is a high-performance module categorized under VSA/VSG Sig Conditioning & Accessories. Specifically, it is the PXIe-5694 model, commonly referred to as the Mighty Mouse Power/Control Board. This module is designed as a PXI IF Conditioning Module, making it a critical component for signal conditioning and processing applications.
One of the key features of the PXIe-5694 is its analog filters. It comes equipped with 5 different types of filters: two LC discrete component filters at 5 and 20 MHz, two SAW filters at 400 and 110 kHz, and a 1.4 MHz surface acoustic wave filter. These filters are essential for removing unwanted frequencies and noise from the signal, thereby enhancing signal quality.
Regarding signal processing capabilities, the module supports signal conditioning downconversion, along with enabled/disabled paths, and an IF conditioning bypass path. This flexibility allows for efficient signal manipulation and routing based on the requirements of the application.
The module includes a front panel IF connector, which is a SMA female connector with a 50-ohm reference impedance. This connector type is widely used and appreciated for its reliability and ease of use in various signal conditioning scenarios. Additionally, there is also an IF output connector, which is also a SMA female connector. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment and accessories.
Designed for modern systems, the PXIe-5694 adheres to a 3U PXI Express form factor, making it compatible with standard PXI chassis. Its power requirement is quite efficient, needing only 1.31 amperes at 3.3 V to operate.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXIe-5694 is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to leverage this powerful
