The PE16S represents a new level of performance and capabilities for PXI-based digital instrumentation. Based on the proven architecture of the PE16, the PE16S offers high performance pin electronics and an enhanced timing generator in a compact, 3U PXI form factor. Each card can function as a stand-alone digital subsystem or if required, multiple cards can be interconnected, supporting up to 256 bi-directional pins (16 boards). The PE16S offers 16 programmable level input or output channels with 2 PMU . The PE16S also supports deep pattern memory by offering 32 M of on-board vector memory with per channel dynamic direction control running test rates up to 66 MHz.
Features
The PE16S supports programmable I/O levels from -1V ~ +7V per channel. The PE16S offers 16 timing sets, 2 driver TG Edges, 2 strobe TG Edges. 2 Format sets, change on the fly, and 2 drive data formats are supported. PE16S also support Serial Port functions: MIPI RFFE . These functions make testing serial port devices much easier than before.
On-Board Memory
The PE16S offers 32 M of vector memory per channel. Programmable pattern cycle times up to 232 or infinite. There are pattern symbols including 0, 1, L, H, X, Z, J, Q.
Compatibility
All OpenATE Interfaces PXI cards comply with the PXI Specification 2.0 (issued Aug. 2000)
Software
The PE16S is supplied with API and Pattern Editor. Pattern Editor is a software tool that edits test patterns.
