Overview

The ADLINK PXIe-3975 PXI Express embedded controller is based on the Intel® Core™ i5 processor specifically designed for hybrid PXI Express based testing systems. A rugged and stable operating environment is provided for a variety testing and measurement applications.

Combining state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i5-520E 2.4 GHz processors, and up to 8 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 memory, the PXIe-3975 utilizes two separate computing engines on a single processor, enabling execution of two independent tasks simultaneously in a multi-tasking environment. With a configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-3975 can support four links x4 or two links x8 PXI Express link capability, with maximum system throughput of up to 2 GB/s.

The ADLINK PXIe-3975 provides flexible scalability with a front panel-mounted ExpressCard/34 expansion slot. Users can extend system function with easily installed ExpressCard modules, such as ExpressCard to USB 3.0, or a bus expansion kit from ExpressCard to PXI/PCI. In addition, the ADLINK PXIe-3975 also provides ample interface flexibility, including dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one for LAN connection and the other for controlling LXI instruments, four USB 2.0 ports for peripheral devices and USB instrument control, and a Micro-D GPIB connector for GPIB instrument connection, for hybrid PXIe-based testing systems control.
