PXIE-8108 Datasheet, PDF (2/7 Pages) National Instruments Corporation – Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor(2.53 GHz dual core)

2.53 GHz Dual-Core Embedded Controller for PXI Express
Hardware
With state-of-the-art packaging, the NI PXIe-8108 integrates the Intel Core 2 Duo
T9400 processor and all standard and extended PC I/O ports into a single unit. By
integrating many I/O ports on the controller, all active slots in the chassis remain
available for measurement and control modules. This rugged one-piece controller
design minimizes integration issues and eliminates the need for complex cabling
to daughter boards. The NI PXIe-8108 block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
Peripheral I/O
This controller includes high-performance peripheral I/O such as
10/100/1000BASE-TX (gigabit) Ethernet and four Hi-Speed USB ports for
connection to a keyboard, a mouse, a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive for software
installation, or other standard PC peripherals such as speakers, printers, or
memory sticks. Use the IEEE 1284 ECP/EPP parallel port to connect to a wide
variety of devices, including tape backup drives, printers, and scanners. An
RS232 port is available for connecting to serial devices. Additionally, the
NI PXIe-8108 controller includes an integrated GPIB (IEEE 488) controller, which
provides control of external instrumentation, saving additional cost and a slot.

Memory
The NI PXIe-8108 uses single-channel 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, which makes the
controller ideal for data-intensive applications requiring significant analysis. It
has a single SO-DIMM socket for the DDR2 SDRAM. 1 GB (1 x 1 GB DIMM) of
RAM is standard with upgrade options to 4 GB.
Extended Temperature and
24/7 Operation Option
This embedded controller is available in two versions to address different
environmental and usage conditions. The primary difference is that the version
for extended temperature and 24/7 operation uses a different hard drive,
designed for both reliability in low- and high-temperature extremes and 24/7
operation. The standard version of the controllers has an operating temperature
of 5 to 50 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 65 °C. The extended
temperature and 24/7 operation version has an operating temperature of
0 to 55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 70 °C.
You can also use the extended temperature and 24/7 operation version for
applications that require continuous operation for up to 24 hours/day, seven
days/week because the hard drive is rated for 24/7 operation. The hard drive in
the standard version of the controllers is designed to be powered on for eight
hours/day, five days/week. Additionally, 24/7 operation applications may subject
the hard drive to a high duty cycle (the percentage of the maximum sustained
throughput of the hard drive). The hard drive in the standard version of the
controllers is designed for a 20 percent duty cycle.

ExpressCard
The NI PXIe-8108 features an ExpressCard/34 slot. ExpressCard uses the
PCI Express and Hi-Speed USB serial interfaces to provide up to 2.5 Gb/s of
bidirectional throughput. Use the ExpressCard/34 slot to add a second gigabit
Ethernet port to your system or additional peripheral I/O such as external hard
drives, RAID arrays, 802.11 wireless LAN, IEEE 1394, Bluetooth, or various
memory adapters.
Video
This controller includes a Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset (Graphics and
Memory Controller Hub) that has an integrated graphics processing unit. It
delivers intense, realistic 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering,
smooth motion, and high detail, without the need for an additional video card or
peripheral. This unique architecture provides balanced memory usage between
graphics and the system for optimal performance. Additionally, the NI PXIe-8108
features a DVI-I video connector that is compatible with digital (DVI) and analog
video (VGA) monitors. A DVI-I to VGA adapter is included with the controller for
use with VGA monitors.
