Hi.
I'm looking into PXI as a test platform for a mixed-signal ASIC. The basic setup is an imbedded controller, a group of SMUs, a matrix, and a digital module. The two matrix modules under consideration are 2534 (FET) and 2530 (Reed). The digital modules under consideration are 6533, 6534, and 6536. Our logic level is 2.2V. We have a SPI interface on our ASIC, and I need to drive that clock as high as 5MHz and the data in and out as high as 2.5MHz. The rest of the digital signals range from 250kHz to essentially DC.
I have a few questions I've not found the answers to:
1) What considerations should I make in choosing the controller?
2) What are the leakage specs of the 2534 and 2530 matrix modules?
3) Is a pinout available for 2534?
4) Can either 2530 or 2534 connect a row or column to ground internally?
5) When will 2534 be available in the PXI advisor?
6) Is operating 6533/4 in open-collector mode and setting DPULL to 2.2V the best way to get 2.2V levels?
7) Can 6533 meet my speed requirements?
😎 Why does the PXI advisor automatically add connector blocks as accessories for modules in a chassis?
9) Is there a plug-in adaptor for COMBICON connectors?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
