National Instruments PXI-5404

The National Instruments PXI-5404 is a high-performance PXI Waveform Generator designed for demanding industrial applications. Operating at a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz, this 1-slot PXI module utilizes direct digital synthesis (DDS) and advanced phase-lock loop technology to deliver reliable sine and clock outputs with 1.07 µHz frequency resolution. Users can precisely control the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the sine outputs, as well as the duty cycle of the clock output, making it suitable for a variety of test and measurement applications.

With an impressive output level range of 1 to 2 Vpp into a 50 Ω load and 12-bit resolution, the PXI-5404 excels in providing superior passband flatness and frequency accuracy. This makes it an ideal stimulus for stimulus-response instruments such as analyzers and automated test equipment (ATE) frameworks. Additionally, the PXI-5404 serves as a versatile programmable clock generator, offering multiple voltage levels of 5, 3.3, or 1.8 V into high-impedance loads, with customizable duty cycles ranging from 25% to 75%.

The PXI-5404 is particularly advantageous for coherent clocking applications, where synchronous sine and clock outputs facilitate intelligible timing and significantly reduce test times. The precise phase and frequency relationship between the analog stimulus and sample clock eliminates the need for anti-alias filtering, minimizing the necessity for window-weighting in FFT spectral analysis. For comprehensive documentation, user manuals and maintenance guides are available for download. For pricing information and quotes, please contact a National Instruments sales representative.

The dimensions of the PXI-5404 are 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches, and it weighs 6.1 oz, backed by a comprehensive 2-3 year warranty for added assurance.
