Description
The NI PXI-2593 is a high-performance, 500 MHz Multiplexer designated with the part number 778793-01. This device falls under the category of PXI Switches and is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-frequency signal switching. The PXI-2593 boasts an impedance of 50 Ω, ensuring minimal signal reflection and maximum signal integrity.
This multiplexer offers several configuration options including an unterminated multiplexer, an externally terminated multiplexer, and a sparse matrix configuration. These options provide flexibility in setting up your test system to match specific requirements. The device operates over a frequency range from DC to over 500 MHz, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
The connector type used in the PXI-2593 is MCX, which is known for its compact size and reliable connection, ensuring a secure and stable connection for high-frequency signals. The channel configuration is a 16-channel unterminated multiplexer, providing ample channels for complex signal routing needs.
In terms of power handling, the PXI-2593 can carry up to 10 W of RF power and is rated for 150 V CAT I for both channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground connections. The relay operate time is typically 2.4 ms, with a maximum of 4.4 ms, allowing for quick switching between channels. The device boasts a mechanical relay life of 5 × 107 cycles and an electrical relay life of 3 × 105 cycles, indicating its durability and reliability.
For power requirements, the PXI-2593 needs 3.3 W at 5 V and 1 W at 3.3 V for PXI power, and 4.5 W at 12 V and 1 W at 3.3 V for PXI Express power. It is equipped with 18 MCX jack I/O connectors and 2
