Description
The 146767A-02L is a high-performance PXI HSSerial part, specifically the PXIe-6593 model. This device stands out as a FlexRIO High-Speed Serial Module, capable of achieving speeds up to 16 Gbps, and is built around the powerful Xilinx Kintex FPGA platform. It has been designed to offer robust functionality with its 8 RX and TX Lines, facilitating versatile high-speed data transmission capabilities.
In terms of memory, the module is equipped with 4 GB RAM, distributed across two 2 GB banks, ensuring ample storage for complex operations and data handling. The device also features a Molex Nano-Pitch I/O™ connector for digital I/O, supporting 8 single-ended channels with variable voltage support ranging from 1.2 V to 3.3 V, catering to a variety of digital interfacing requirements.
From an impedance perspective, the input impedance is rated at 100 kΩ, with the output impedance for digital I/O sitting at 50 kΩ, and for CLK OUT at 50 Ω, ensuring signal integrity and minimizing potential reflection issues. The module conforms to the PCI Express Gen-3 x8 form factor, making it compatible with a wide range of host systems and enclosures.
The power requirements for the PXIe-6593 are modest, needing only 3 A at +3.3 V, with a maximum power consumption of 58 watts. This module also boasts a quick direction change time of only 200 ns, enhancing its efficiency and responsiveness in complex operational environments.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase through Apex Waves, providing an invaluable resource for systems requiring high-speed serial communication capabilities.
