Product Information
Flexible configurable PXI Platform
This family of bit-pattern generators is based
on the "Flexible Configurable PXI Platform"
(FlexCPP). This platform allows a couple of
customer configured bit-pattern generators.
Bit-Pattern Generator
The PXI520x Bit-Pattern Generator family
features up to 8 simultaneously working
channels divided into 2 modules with
4 channels. Every channel provides a 8 Bit TTL
digital output. Each module is equipped with
an on-board memory holding the arbitrary
Bit-Pattern for up to 4 channels.
Sample clock
The sample clock of the PXI520x Bit-Pattern
Generator is derived from a programmable
master clock provided by the internal PLL.
This allows a highly accurate setting of the
sample clock. A post divider offers an
additional integer division of the master
clock frequency for output generation.
Reference clock output
The PXI520x Bit-Pattern Generator provides
a reference clock signal for every generator
module on the output connector. This signal
can be used for synchronization purpose of a
following signal chain.
Digital output
Every channel of the PXI520x Bit-Pattern
Generator is equipped with an 8Bit digital
bus driver. So digital output signals compliant
to TTL standard are provided to the user.
All digital output ports are referenced to a
common ground.
User specific daughter board
The PXI520x Bit-Pattern Generator devices
feature a connector interface to a user specific
daughter board. For fixture of the board
various mounting studs are available. So the
whole placement area of the right adjacent
slot within a PXI chassis is provided to the user.
In addition to the digital outputs and the
reference clock signal the connector interface
contains two supply voltages (+3.3V and +12V)
with their according common ground. This
features the user a solid base for his circuit
design.
