NI 6535, NI 6536, and NI 6537 Specifications Overview Overview Digital Interfacing NI 6535, NI 6536, and NI 6537 digital I/O devices are high-speed 32-bit interfaces built on PCI Express bus technology. These cost-effective devices provide an ideal way to interface with a variety of digital applications requiring a high number of channels for digital I/O including high-speed functional digital tests, handshaking, chip testing, pattern generation, memory testing, and logic vector capture. This family features maximum clock rates of 10, 25, or 50 MHz; selectable voltage levels compatible with 2.5, 3.3, and 5 V TTL logic; and individually configured pins for input or output. With both synchronous and asynchronous timing modes, handshaking, and a software API designed around the NI-DAQmx driver, NI 6535/36/37 devices have the flexibility to meet the requirements of semiconductor, consumer electronics, and communications applications. • Use NI 6535/36/37 devices to interface digital systems and devices directly with PC-based applications • Control, communicate with, or send data to a digital device or system • Analyze and record digital data • Perform bidirectional communications with handshaking Applications Digital Interfacing Custom Digital Device Semiconductor Digital Data Transfers Consumer Electronics Digital Display Testing CCD Imaging Sensors Communications Digital I/O Streaming Wireless Chip Testing Timing Modes • Pattern I/O or sample clock (synchronous) – transfer patterns using an internal or external clock signal • Burst handshaking (synchronous) – handshake an NI 6535, NI 6536, or NI 6537 device and the peripheral device during synchronous transfer to maximize the transfer rate • Handshaking I/O (asynchronous) – transfer patterns when both the NI 6535, NI 6536, or NI 6537 device and the peripheral device are ready • On-demand (unstrobed or static I/O) – acquire or generate data through software-timed commands • Change detection – acquire data whenever a change occurs on one or more digital lines Low-Cost, Selectable-Voltage, Digital I/O Devices up to 50 MHz High Signal Quality NI 6535/36/37 devices feature an improved architecture, offering not only higher clock rates up to 50 MHz at low cost but also superior signal integrity and impedance matching.

You can use NI 6535/36/37 devices with an NI 653x cable adapter to connect to existing NI 6533/34 applications. • In comparison to legacy digital I/O boards, NI 6535/36/37 devices have improved signal quality. In Figure 3, the top eye diagram is from an NI PXIe-6535 generating at 10 MHz. The bottom diagram shows an NI PXI-6534 generating a 10 MHz signal using signal termination recommended by NI. These products use the PXI trigger bus or RTSI bus to send and receive clock and trigger signals to and from other NI 6535/36/37 devices in your system. With these capabilities, you can create synchronized systems with large numbers of digital I/O lines.
