Description
The NI PXIe-5641R IF Transceiver, identified by the part number 199116-01 (780710-01), falls within the category of Reconfigurable FPGA IF Transceivers. This model, the PXIe-5641, is specifically designed as a board-only configuration, tailored to meet the demands of sophisticated signal processing and communication systems.
Featuring 2 inputs and 2 outputs, this transceiver is equipped with 14-bit input channels that boast integrated digital downconversion capabilities. Similarly, its 14-bit output channels are enhanced with built-in upconversion, making it highly efficient for a wide range of applications. The device requires one PXI-compatible slot for installation, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of existing systems.
An important feature of the PXIe-5641 is its +5 V supply pin DIO connector, which comes with electronic current limit for enhanced safety. Additionally, it boasts an overcurrent protection mechanism that shuts the device down within 10 microseconds of detecting excess current, with automatic restoration attempts every 5 seconds. This transceiver also integrates an internal temperature sensor that triggers shutdown under abnormal conditions, ensuring the protection of both the device and the system it’s integrated into.
With a warm-up time of 10 minutes, the PXIe-5641 is quick to prepare for operation. Its inputs and outputs are AC-coupled, optimizing signal integrity for various applications. Despite its announced obsolete status by National Instruments, this transceiver remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring ongoing support for existing users.
