Description
The PXI-6653 is a Timing and Control Module designed for Timing and Multi-Chassis Synchronization. With a part number of 188268C-01 and an alternate part number of 778715-01, this module falls under the category of Timing and Synchronization. It is well-suited for complex systems requiring precise timing and synchronization.
The module boasts a high-stability OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) as its onboard reference, ensuring accurate timing over a wide range of environmental conditions. The front panel of the PXI-6653 is equipped with 1 CLKOUT, 1 CLKIN, PFI <0..5>, 1 Access LED, and 1 Active LED, providing essential connectivity and status indicators.
In terms of power, the PXI-6653 requires 2 A max at +5 V, 600 mA max at +3.3 V, 500 mA max at +12 V, and 0 A max at -12 V. It is designed to fit into one 3U PXI Slot, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any PXI system. The unit weighs approximately 203 g, highlighting its lightweight design.
The module’s signal routing capabilities are versatile, allowing for the routing of signals to/from PXI_STAR, front panel, and PXI/RTSI triggers. It can also route a 10 MHz clock from CLKIN to the 10 MHz reference clock or PXI_STAR lines, enhancing system flexibility. The CLKIN frequency range supported by the PXI-6653 is 1 MHz to 105 MHz, accommodating a wide range of input signals.
For software compatibility, the PXI-6653 is supported by the NI-Sync driver, ensuring easy integration and programming within National Instruments’ software ecosystem. This module is designed to operate within a specific temperature range, making it suitable for a variety of environments.
