Description
The part number 778572-31 refers to a PXI Switch under the category, specifically the model PXI-2531. This model is described as a 512-Crosspoint Matrix, indicating its high connectivity capacity. It falls under the type of 1-Wire PXI Matrix Switch Module, designed for efficient switching applications within PXI configurations.
The switching capacity of the PXI-2531 is notable, with the ability to handle up to 2000 cycles/s, making it suitable for applications requiring high-speed switching. It supports various available topologies such as 1-wire dual 8 × 32 matrix, 1-wire 8 × 64 matrix, and 1-wire 4 × 128 matrix, providing flexibility in how it can be implemented within different systems. The module is capable of a switching/carry current of 0.5 A and can manage a maximum switching power of 10 W per channel.
When it comes to performance, the PXI-2531 boasts a bandwidth of >=20 MHz with a 50 Ω termination. It also features excellent channel-to-channel crosstalk of <-70 dB from 10 kHz to 100 kHz, ensuring minimal interference between channels. The input/output connectors are 2 x 150 position Samter ERM8 Series, providing robust and reliable connections.
The mechanical relay life of the PXI-2531 is impressive, with up to 1 x 109 cycles, indicating its durability and reliability for long-term use. It has a quick actuating/release time of 0.25 ms, contributing to its efficiency in switching operations. The simultaneous drive limit is 40 relays with a 0.25 ms relay operating time, which can be extended to 64 relays in PXI Express chassis, offering considerable flexibility in terms of the number of signals that can be managed simultaneously.
Furthermore, the PXI-2531 is equipped with trigger signal input capabilities using PX
