Description
The PXI-5620 is a high-performance RF Digitizer designed to cater to a wide range of applications including high resolution Automated Test Equipment (ATE), ultrasound, DSL, and wireless testing. It comes with part numbers 778282-01 and 778282-02, ensuring flexibility in sourcing and replacements.
This model boasts a 14-Bit resolution, providing precise and accurate measurement capabilities. It offers a versatile sample rate range from 1 kS to 64 MS/s, making it suitable for various signal processing needs. Additionally, its bandwidth extends from 10 kHz to 36 MHz (-3 dB), ensuring a wide range of frequency components can be accurately captured and analyzed.
The PXI-5620 stands out with its excellent Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of 80 dB, highlighting its ability to measure signal amplitude accurately without the interference of spurious signals. For data acquisition and processing, it is equipped with onboard memory, offering 8 MS with Digital Down Conversion (DDC) and 16 MS without DDC, enabling efficient and flexible data handling.
Connectivity is a strong suit of this digitizer, featuring two SMA connectors for INPUT and REF CLK IN, and one SMB connector for PFI1, facilitating easy and reliable connections. It offers AC coupled input coupling and a 50 Ω input impedance at 10 MHz for REF CLK IN, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of signal sources. External triggering is supported through PFI1, with various triggering modes such as analog hysteresis, analog window, analog edge, digital edge, and software, providing flexibility in signal acquisition.
The PXI-5620 is designed to be compatible with PXI Based Instruments from National Instruments, offering seamless integration into existing setups. Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through
