The PA32S represents a new level of performance and capabilities for PXI-based digital instrumentation. Based on the proven architecture of the PE32, the PA32S 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 512 bi-directional pins (16 boards). The PA32S also supports deep pattern memory by offering 32 M of on-board vector memory with dynamic per pin direction control and with test rates up to 33 MHz. With new 32M capture/log memory, PA32S can capture 32 channels fail log .
Features
The PA32S supports -0.5V ~ +5V VIH VIL per channel VOH/VOL per two channels ,and PMU per channel. The PA32S offers 16 timing sets, 2 driver TG Edges, 2 strobe TG Edges. 2 Format sets, change on the fly, and four drive data formats are supported: RTZ (Return To Zero), RTO (Return To One), NRZ (Non Return To Zero), SBC (Surround By Complement) which can providing flexibility to create a variety of bus cycles and waveforms to test board and box level products. 8 100MHz 32bit TMU for frequency measurement. I2C/SPI data engine for serial port access. Quad sites pattern can run 32 ch pattern as 4 site 8 ch pattern . With 96MHz reference clock, generate 2.4MHz pattern is possible for microphone device.
On-Board Memory
The PA32S 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.
Compatibility
All OpenATE Interfaces PXI cards comply with the PXI Specification 2.0 (issued Aug. 2000)
