National Instruments PXI-7952

The National Instruments PXI-7952 is a high-performance PXI FPGA module designed for use with the FlexRIO platform. Equipped with a Virtex-5 LX50 FPGA, this module features 128 MB of DRAM and offers robust processing capabilities, including 7,200 FPGA slices, 1,728 kbit of Block RAM, and 48 DSP slices. The PXI-7952 supports a maximum operational frequency of 40 MHz and provides 132 general-purpose channels, capable of configuration in single-ended, differential, or a combination of both signal types. This module integrates seamlessly with NI connector modules, enabling customizable I/O solutions through the use of component-level interface programming. Users can leverage LabVIEW for FPGA programming while also incorporating existing hardware description language (HDL) intellectual property. The IP Integration Node facilitates a user-friendly interface for HDL IP and Xilinx CORE Generator XCO files, simplifying the development process and ensuring proper functionality through simulation on a host system prior to FPGA deployment. The PXI-7952 has been designated as a mature product status but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Dimensionally, it measures 7.4 x 5.1 inches and weighs 6.7 ounces, and customers can obtain further details, manuals, and pricing information by contacting a sales representative.
