PXIe-3975
3U Intel® Core™ i5-520E 2.4 GHz Dual-Core Processor-based PXI Express Controller
Introduction
The ADLINK PXIe-3975 PXI Express embedded controller is based on the Intel® Core™ i5 processor specifically designed
for hybrid PXI Express based testing systems. A rugged and stable operating environment is provided for a variety testing
and measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i5-520E 2.4 GHz processors, and up to 8 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 memory, the
PXIe-3975 utilizes two separate computing engines on a single processor, enabling execution of two independent tasks
simultaneously in a multi-tasking environment. With a configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-3975 can support four links x4 or
two links x8 PXI Express link capability, with maximum system throughput of up to 2 GB/s.
The ADLINK PXIe-3975 provides flexible scalability with a front panel-mounted ExpressCard/34 expansion slot. Users can
extend system function with easily installed ExpressCard modules, such as ExpressCard to USB 3.0, or a bus expansion
kit from ExpressCard to PXI/PCI. In addition, the ADLINK PXIe-3975 also provides ample interface flexibility, including
dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, 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
PXIe-based testing systems control.
