Description
The part number 780587-43 refers to a National Instruments PXIe-2543 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, categorized under PXI Switches. This module employs a Dual 4×1 Multiplexer, Solid-State technology, designed to handle a minimum input frequency of 10 MHz and can safely endure a maximum DC input voltage of ±8V. The characteristic impedance of this device is a nominal 50 Ω, ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems.
The switch operating time is remarkably swift at 76 microseconds, complemented by an input trigger pulse width requirement of just 150 nanoseconds. It is rated with a pollution degree of 2, indicating its suitability for most indoor environments without excessive condensation or dust. Connectivity is facilitated through 10 SMA female I/O and 2 SMB female front panel connectors, providing versatile interfacing options.
Regarding power, the module operates efficiently, requiring only 0.4 W at 12V and 1 W at 3.3V. It adheres to rigorous safety standards, including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA 61010-1, ensuring its safe integration into various setups. Compatibility with software is broad, including the NI-SWITCH driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, offering flexible programming and control solutions.
The device weighs 27.3 oz and has dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in., making it a compact and manageable addition to any PXI system. It is built to perform reliably within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored safely between –20 °C to 70 °C, ensuring durability and longevity in a range of environmental conditions.
