Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-5421 generates standard and user-defined waveforms with 16-bit resolution and a 100 MS/s update rate. NI identifies communications, consumer electronics, semiconductor, video, and scientific research as application areas.

Built on NI's Synchronization and Memory Core architecture, the PXI-5421 participates in mixed-signal systems with other SMC-based instruments. The architecture provides waveform data handling, trigger and marker routing, and waveform linking and looping.

Memory capacity is configuration-dependent. NI's historical ordering information identifies 778697-01 as the 8 MB configuration; the supplied catalog identifiers do not independently establish the installed memory configuration of this particular module.

  • 100 MS/s waveform update rate with 16-bit resolution.
  • Standard and user-defined waveform generation.
  • Output amplitude of 12 V peak-to-peak into a 50 Ω load.
  • SMC architecture supports waveform linking and looping, event triggering, and marker routing.
  • Compact 3U module occupies one PXI slot.
