Description
The National Instruments PCI-5640 IF Transceiver Device, part number 779460-01, is a versatile tool compatible with FPGA or host processing and is supported by NI-5640 driver software and NI LabVIEW application software. With dual input and output channels that are fully synchronized, this device can handle a maximum real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz and is equipped with 14-bit A/D and D/A converters for high-precision digital down-conversion and up-conversion.
Designed to operate within a 250 kHz frequency range for FM signals, the PCI-5640 is powered by a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro-P30 FPGA for efficient inline processing functions and utilizes Direct Memory Access (DMA) for optimal data streaming. This device is tailored for research methodologies and software-defined applications, ensuring compatibility with Windows operating systems and maintaining a moderate power consumption of 20 to 25.5 W.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the PCI-5640 remains available for purchase and repairs, continuing to serve as a reliable component in various technological setups.
