With up to 6,144 Crosspoints per Module; 39% Higher Density than Competing Products
Our model 40-558 0.5A PXI switch matrix modules are available in integrated BRIC sub-assemblies that occupy two, four or eight PXI chassis slots. Each BRIC enclosure can be populated with a set of daughter cards with an analog bus width from 6 to 16 lines, and so a wide range of matrix sizes can be created, e.g., from 64x16 to 1,008x6.
Features include:
- Integrated PXI matrix module with built-in high performance screened analog bus
- Robust 0.5A/5W switching, with up to 6,144 crosspoints per module
- Automatic isolation relay switching maximizes bandwidth and reliability
- Supported by our diagnostic field self-test tools
- Use hi-rel Pickering 4mm2 ruthenium reed relays for maximum performance
- Choice of 6, 8, 12 and 16 pole analog bus widths and dual analog bus options
- The BRIC’s internal high performance screened analog backplane minimizes the complexity and cost of cable assemblies
- Plug into any PXI, PXIe hybrid and our LXI/USB chassis
These new modules are part of our family BRIC high-performance, scalable large PXI matrix and multiplexer solutions.
More about the 40-558 family:
The 40-558 BRIC PXI matrix modules can be operated in Fast Mode via the VISA driver with multiple relay operation in one command or provide the convenience and simplicity of IVI drivers. Pickering’s signal routing software, Switch Path Manager, allows easy programming of the BRIC matrix modules.
The 40-558 PXI matrix modules suit many industries; however, typical applications include automotive and aerospace ECU and semiconductor package testing. Dual analog bussing for the narrower matrix options enables completely separate matrices within a single module for parallel testing.
