PXI-3950/3920
3U Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2GHz/ Pentium® M 760 Single-Core Processor-based PXI Controllers
Introduction
The ADLINK PXI-3920 and PXI-3950 PXI embedded controllers are based on the Intel® Pentium® M, and Intel®
Core™2 Duo and specifically designed for hybrid PXI-based testing systems by providing a rugged and stable operating
environment for a variety test and measurement applications.
Hybrid PXI-based testing systems are typically composed of a PXI platform and diversified stand-alone instruments for
complex testing tasks. The PXI-3920 and PXI-3950 provide plenty of interfaces, including GPIB, USB, and COM ports,
for connecting and controlling instruments. The PXI-3920 and PXI-3950 also provide dual Gigabit Ethernet ports—one
for a LAN connection and the other for controlling next-generation LXI instruments.
Combining Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz processor, the GME965 chipset, and 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 memory, the
PXI-3950 provides two computing engines on a single processor that can execute two independent tasks at the same
time in a multi-tasking environment. The PXI-3920 is meticulously designed to provide maximum robustness. The
CPU and memory chips are soldered on the PCB to increase reliability in shock and vibration prone environments. The
aluminum-copper composite heat sink helps to disperse heat uniformly to maintain a stable operating temperature.
