NI PXIe-5185, NI PXIe-5186
5 GHz (NI PXIe-5186) and 3 GHz (NI PXIe-5185) analog bandwidths
Sampling rates of 12.5 GS/s (1 ch active) and 6.25 GS/s (2 ch active)
8-bit vertical resolution with input ranges from 110 mV to 1 V full scale
2 channels with 50 Ω and 1 MΩ input impedance paths
Data transfer rates of >700 MB/s from device to host
3-slot, 3U PXI Express form factor
Overview
The NI PXIe-5185 and PXIe-5186 digitizers, codeveloped by National Instruments and Tektronix, deliver a new level of performance in the small-form-factor, low-power PXI
platform. These digitizers provide the trusted measurement accuracy of Tektronix oscilloscopes and deliver breakthrough acquisition performance in PXI Express. The digital back
end uses NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) technology to deliver high-data throughput at rates greater than 700 MB/s and multi-module synchronization with ±80 ps
channel-to-channel skew. The result is digitizers that feature leading analog performance optimized for automated test applications.

Obtaining Superior Signal Accuracy With Tektronix, Enabling Technology Products
The analog front end and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ASICs incorporated in the 3 GHz bandwidth NI PXIe-5185 and 5 GHz bandwidth NI PXIe-5186 are state-of-the-art
silicon germanium (SiGe) parts designed by Tektronix and used across the full suite of Tektronix high-performance oscilloscopes. With more than a decade of experience in
developing with the high-bandwidth (ft = 200 GHz) and reliable IBM SiGe BiCMOS process, Tektronix has continuously delivered the industry’s fastest oscilloscopes with
high-signal accuracy.
