Up to 100 MHz, Programmable Voltage Digital Stimulus-Response Instrument

Up to 100 MHz, Programmable Voltage Digital Stimulus-Response Instrument
  • 100 MHz maximum clock rate
  • -2.0 to 5.5 V programmable voltage levels in 10 mV steps
  • NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) device
  • 1, 8, or 64 Mb/channel onboard memory (256 MB total)
  • Real-time hardware comparison of response data
  • 20 channels with per-cycle, per-channel bidirectional control

National Instruments 6552 and 6551 devices are 100 and 50 MHz digital waveform generator/analyzers, respectively, for characterizing, validating, and testing digital electronics. These devices feature 20 channels with per-cycle, per-channel bidirectional control and deep onboard memory for linking and looping complex patterns. You can program the voltage levels on these devices with 10 mV resolution between -2.0 and 5.5 V.

The NI Digital Waveform Editor is an interactive environment for creating, editing, and importing digital waveforms for use with these digital instruments. With the SMC architecture of the devices, you can create low-skew, mixed-signal test systems with digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and other digital waveform generator/analyzers for interfacing to high-pin-count ICs and electronics.

NI-HSDIO 1.4 Adds New Hardware Features
The new NI-HSDIO 1.4 driver has strengthened the hardware features of NI 6552 and NI 6551 digital waveform generator/analyzers. Along with expanding the bidirectional support of these devices by offering per-cycle and per-channel direction control, NI-HSDIO 1.4 adds the capability to perform immediate hardware comparisons of expected data with the acquired response data. These new features provide an affordable solution to applications such as bit error rate tests (BERTs), functional testing of memory chips, I2C communication, and many other digital stimulus-response applications.
