PXI-3910

# Introduction

The ADLINK PXI-3900 series of PXI™ embedded controllers is based on the Intel® Celeron® M, Intel® Pentium® M, or Intel® Core™2 Duo and specifically designed for hybrid PXI-based testing systems by providing a rugged and stable operating environment for a variety test and measurement applications.

# Features

■ PXI™ specification Rev. 2.2 Compliant
■ Scalable computing power

• Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz processor (PXI-3950)
• Intel® Pentium® M 760 2.0 GHz processor (PXI-3920)

• DVI-I video connector
• High definition audio output and input
• Trigger I/O for advanced PXI™ trigger functions

■ Programmable watchdog timer

Hybrid PXI-based testing systems are typically composed of a PXI platform and diversified stand-alone instruments for complex testing tasks. The PXI-3900 series provides plenty of interfaces, including GPIB, USB, and COM ports, for connecting and controlling instruments. The PXI-3900 series also provides dual Gigabit Ethernet ports—one for a LAN connection and the other for controlling next-generation LXI instruments.

Combining Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz processor, the GME965 chipset, and 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 memory, the PXI-3950 provides two computing engines on a single processor that can execute two independent tasks at the same time in a multi-tasking environment. The PXI-3920 and PXI-3910 are meticulously designed to provide maximum robustness. The CPU and memory chips are soldered on the PCB to increase reliability in shock and vibration prone environments. The aluminum-copper composite heat sink helps to disperse heat uniformly to maintain a stable operating temperature.

Combining a variety of instrument control interfaces and reliable mechanical and electronic design, the ADLINK PXI-3900 series is well qualified to meet the needs of your hybrid PXI-based testing systems.

# ■ Notice

These PXI™ controllers implement rear I/O PXI™ controllers with rear I/O are designed to operate with a matching rear transition module which provides internal or external chassis I/O.

# ■	Warning

If these PXI™ controllers are used with a chassis that contains a rear transition module that does not match the controller, the rear I/O functionality may not operate and may cause damage to the PXI™ controller or the rear transition module.
