NI PXIe-7821R Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 7 Digital I/O The NI PXIe-7821R provides connections for 128 digital input/output (DIO) channels. Connectors 0 through 3 each contain 32 high-speed DIO channels that can run up to 80 MHz signal frequencies. Each connector has selectable logic levels that you can configure as 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. You can configure each channel as input or output. Figure 4. Connecting to the DIO Channels DIO0 DIO1 1 Connector X (DIO) FPGA DIO30 Power DIO31 2 Connection Accessory NI PXIe-7821R 1. High-speed signal frequencies up to 80 MHz with logic levels configured as 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V 2. LED The DIO channels connect to the FPGA through protection circuitry, which has overvoltage and undervoltage protection as well as overcurrent protection. Refer to the NI PXIe-7821R Specifications for more information about the maximum voltage and current. When the system powers on, the DIO channels are set as input low with pull-down resistors. To set another power-on state, you can configure the NI PXIe-7821R to load a VI when the system powers on. The VI can then set the DIO lines to any power-on state. All the DIO channels on Connectors 0 through 3 are routed with a 50 Ω characteristic trace impedance. Route all external circuitry with a similar impedance to ensure best signal quality. NI recommends performing signal integrity measurements to test the affect of signal routing with the cable and connection accessory for your application. Installing Noise Suppression Ferrites Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with shielded cables and accessories. Do not use unshielded cables or accessories unless they are installed in a shielded enclosure with properly designed and shielded input/ output ports and connected to the product using a shielded cable. If unshielded 8 | ni.com | NI PXIe-7821R Getting Started Guide cables or accessories are not properly installed and shielded, the EMC specifications for the product are no longer guaranteed. Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, install two (2) snap-on, ferrite beads (777297-01) per connected I/O cable in accordance with the product installation instructions. Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, the length of any cable connected to the input port(s) must be no longer than 3 m (10 ft). For each connected I/O cable, install two (2) snap-on, ferrite beads (777297-01), one on each end of the cable, as close to the connector as practical. Two (2) snap-on, ferrite beads (777297-01) are included in ach of the following recommended cable kits: • Shielded R Series High Speed Digital Cable, 1m (156166-01) • Shielded R Series High Speed Digital Cable, 2m (156166-02) For user-supplied cables, the ferrite beads can be ordered directly from NI by visiting ni.com/ info and entering RDIO2FERRITE.
