National Instruments AT-1212

The National Instruments AT-1212 Signal Generator Adapter Module is designed for integration with FlexRIO systems, featuring DC-coupled single-ended inputs and a maximum update rate of 1.25 GS/s. This module supports two analog output (AO) channels, enabling effective signal generation across diverse applications requiring customization. The output voltage range spans from -2 V to 2 V and delivers a resolution of 14 bits with analog bandwidth up to 480 MHz, making it suitable for generating complex signals. The AT-1212 operates with compatible FlexRIO FPGA modules, specifically Kintex-7 and Virtex-5, and utilizes dual digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to manage the analog output channels. Additionally, it includes two LVDS input ports comprising 14 differential LVDS signals, facilitating high-speed data processing as each port operates at half the DAC clock speed. An integrated clock generator sourced from a 25 MHz temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) provides the necessary clock signal for the DAC, while a microcontroller oversees DAC parameter registration and multiplexer output control, ensuring seamless startup through power-up sequencing. The AT-1212 is backed by a warranty of 2-3 years, and comprehensive user and maintenance manuals are available for download. For pricing information, please contact a sales representative.
