National Instruments PXI-5402 PXI Waveform Generator
The National Instruments PXI-5402 (Part Numbers: 779655-01, 192887E-01L) is a high-performance 20 MHz function generator designed for precise waveform generation in automated test and measurement applications. Equipped with a 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology, it delivers accurate and customizable waveforms with minimal distortion.
The PXI-5402 can generate a range of standard functions, such as sine, square, triangle, and ramp waves, in addition to DC signals and pseudorandom noise, with a maximum output voltage of ±5 V (ACpk + DC). With a 50 Ω load, its output amplitude ranges from 5.64 mVpk-pk to 10 Vpk-pk, and with a high-impedance load, it ranges from 11.28 mVpk-pk to 20 Vpk-pk. It provides versatility for a range of testing applications with software-selectable output impedance (50 Ω or 75 Ω) and adjustable phase (-180° to +180°). In order to generate complicated signals, additional PXI-5402 units can be coupled together as the device also supports waveform summation.
The PXI-5402 provides maximum frequencies of 20 MHz for typical functions and a frequency resolution of 0.355 μHz for accurate frequency management. For sine, square, and user-defined waveforms, it offers a maximum sample rate of 400 MS/s; for ramp, triangle, and noise signals, it offers a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s.
The PXI-5402 has the ability to generate waveforms and also has synchronization functionality via its SYNC OUT/PFI 0 and PFI 1 ports. It supports single, continuous, stepped, and burst trigger modes and may function as both a trigger source and receiver. With minimum pulse widths of 25 ns, the device enables precise timing and low jitter (<2 MHz: 0.01% of period + 500 ps, typical; ≥2 MHz: 0.1% of period + 70 ps).
Input and output connectors for synchronization and reference are included with the PXI-5402 to guarantee compatibility with external systems and devices. With a maximum input overload protection of ±10 V (AC pk + DC), it enables input voltages ranging from 0.2 V pk-pk to 2.8 V pk-pk for square waveforms and 0.63 V pk-pk to 2.8 V pk-pk for sine waves.
This PXI Waveform Generator is no longer available from National Instruments; the PXI-5402 will remain available in perpetuity for both purchase and repairs with Apex Waves!

National Instruments PXI-5402 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is the effective sample rate of the generator?
Answer: The PXI-5402 has an effective sample rate that measures 400 MS/s. The maximum sample rate only applies to sine, square, and user-defined waveforms.
Question: What is the sine and square wave generation rate on the NI PXI-5402?
Answer: The sine and square wave generation rate is 20 MHz.
Question: Can the PXI-5402 generate custom waveforms?
Answer: Yes, the device supports user-defined waveforms with a maximum size of 16,384 samples.
Question: Does the PXI-5402 require manual calibration?
Answer: The PXI-5402 features a self-calibration function that uses an onboard 24-bit ADC and a precision voltage reference to calibrate gain, offset, and square waveform duty cycle.
Question: What does the "ACCESS" LED on the front panel indicate?
Answer: The ACCESS LED shows the status of the PCI bus and the interface from the module to the controller.
