The NI USB-8451 is an interface for connecting to and communicating with I2C, SMBus, and SPI devices. With plug-and-play USB connectivity, the USB-8451 is a portable solution to communicate with consumer electronics and integrated circuits. It also includes eight general-purpose digital I/O lines for a variety of applications, such as configuring the address of I2C devices or toggling LEDs.
The USB-8451 can be physically located more closely to I2C/SPI devices than PCI interfaces, reducing I2C bus length and minimizing noise problems. Additionally, the interface provides +5 V and GND to power circuits up to 230 mA with no external power supply.
The NI USB-6000 prototyping accessory attaches to the 16-position connector of the USB-8451 (non-OEM version) interface. It has a small breadboarding area for custom-defined signal conditioning and prototyping within the housing. You can use up to two accessories per USB-8451 module.
