Description
The PXIe-7981/2/5 I/O MDK Variant, with part number 142379B-04L, is a specialized module within the category of PXI FlexRIO Baseboards. This model, dubbed PXIe-7981, is engineered with a focus on flexibility and performance in high-demand environments.
At the heart of the PXIe-7981 lies the KU035 FPGA from Xilinx Kintex, a powerful and versatile processing unit designed to handle complex computations and data processing tasks efficiently. The module facilitates connections through a mezzanine type connector and an auxiliary connector, offering a robust interface for a wide range of applications.
For advanced triggering and clocking operations, the module is equipped with 8 GTH transceivers, ensuring precise synchronization and high-speed data transfer capabilities. Power supply to the module is versatile, featuring both configurable and fixed power rails, which cater to different operational requirements and enhance the module’s adaptability.
Regarding clocking inputs, the PXIe-7981 accepts one 3.3V LVTTL input and one 2.5V LVDS differential pair input, providing flexibility in interfacing with various external timing sources. Control mechanisms include an I2C bus and 2 status handshaking signals, enabling seamless integration and management within a system.
The package for this module is comprehensive, including generic .dxf files, low-level documentation, 1 windowed enclosure, and 3 adapter module enclosures, ensuring that users have all necessary resources for a successful deployment. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXIe-7981 remains available for purchase through Apex Waves, offering a valuable option for systems requiring high-performance I/O capabilities.
