Description
The 159043A-01L is part of the PXI FlexRIO Baseboards category, specifically the PXIe-7981 model. This product is a National Instruments PXIe-7981 PXI FlexRIO MDK Module, designed to deliver high-performance modular data acquisition and control systems.
The core of this module is the KU035 FPGA from the Xilinx Kintex series, which is known for its high-speed processing and flexibility in handling complex algorithms. Connectivity is facilitated through a mezzanine type connector and an auxiliary connector, providing versatile interfacing options.
For high-speed data transmission, the module is equipped with 8 GTH transceivers. This feature enables efficient communication and data transfer at gigabit speeds, making it suitable for demanding applications.
The package includes generic .dxf files, low-level documentation, 1 windowed enclosure, and 3 adapter module enclosures. This comprehensive bundle ensures users have everything needed to get started with their projects.
Power management is flexible, offering both configurable and fixed power rails. This allows for tailored power supply setups according to specific requirements. Clocking is handled by one 3.3V LVTTL input and one 2.5V LVDS differential pair input, providing precise timing control.
Control mechanisms include an I2C bus and 2 status handshaking signals, offering straightforward integration and communication with other devices. The module’s enclosure is metallic and PCB fitted, ensuring durability and reliability.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the PXIe-7981 is available from Apex Waves. This availability ensures that even legacy systems can be maintained or upgraded as necessary.
