# Introduction

The ADLINK PXIe-3988 PXI Express embedded controller, based on the 9th gen Intel® Xeon® E processor, is specifically designed for hybrid PXI Express-based testing systems, delivering maximum computing power for a wide variety of testing and measurement applications. By utilizing the Intel® Xeon® E-2276ME processor (6 cores, 12 threads) with up to 64 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory, the PXIe-3988 easily performs execution of numerous independent tasks simultaneously in a multi-tasking environment. With an auto configure PCIe switch, the PXIe-3988 can support four links x4 or two links x8 PXI Express link capability, with maximum system throughput up to 16 GB/s by PCI Express 3.0 bus.

The ADLINK PXIe-3988 provides ample interface flexibility, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection to two monitors, dual USB 3.0 connections for high speed peripheral devices, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, with one for LAN connection and the other for controlling LXI instruments, four USB 2.0 ports for peripheral devices and USB instrument control, and a Micro-D GPIB connector for GPIB instrument connection, for hybrid PXI-based testing systems control.
