Description
The 540931A-51 is a part of the PXI HSSerial category, specifically the PXIe-6593 model. This device is designed as a Test Kit for PXIE-6593/4R, featuring a QSFP+ Optical Loopback Module. It is equipped with FPGA transceivers, indicating its capability for complex processing and signal generation.
This module has 8 channels, supported by 4 GB of RAM, divided into 2 x 2 GB banks, ensuring ample memory for demanding applications. The digital I/O connectivity is facilitated by a Molex Nano-Pitch I/O™ connector, with 8 single-ended digital I/O channels. These channels support a voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.3 V, making the module versatile for various signal levels.
The input impedance is rated at 100 kΩ, while the output impedance stands at 50 kΩ. Additionally, it features a CLK OUT connector that is an SMA, AC coupling, with a 50 Ω output impedance, ensuring precise clock signal delivery. The module adopts a PCI Express Gen-3 x8 form factor, optimizing its compatibility and performance with modern computer systems.
Regarding power requirements, it demands 3 A at +3.3 V, with a maximum total power consumption of 58 watts. The direction control per channel is highly responsive, with a minimum time to change direction of 200 ns, facilitating rapid signal direction changes for complex test and measurement scenarios.
Despite its obsolete status as announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users of this sophisticated testing module.
