National Instruments 790661-01 PXIe-8862 2.6 GHz 8-Core PXI Express Embedded Controller
The National Instruments 790661-01 (PXIe-8862) is a high-performance 3U PXI Express embedded controller designed for computationally intensive automated test, measurement, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation applications. Powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11850HE 8-core processor operating at a 2.6 GHz base clock with 24 MB of Intel Smart Cache, the module delivers exceptional multi-threaded processing power. Supported by high-speed PCIe Gen 3 system bus technology, the controller achieves maximum system throughput up to 16 GB/s across backplane trigger and data channels. System memory is pre-configured with 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 SODIMM RAM (2 × 8 GB), expandable up to 32 GB (2 × 16 GB), while primary storage is provided by a high-speed, removable 960 GB U.2 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) running under a pre-installed Windows 11 operating system.
Front-panel connectivity features a robust suite of peripheral and networking interfaces, including two DisplayPort 1.4 connectors for multi-monitor display outputs, two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and a front-accessible SMB connector for direct PXI trigger bus input/output synchronization. Advanced Ethernet functionality is driven by dual Intel i225 controllers supporting 10/100/1000/2500Base-T (2.5 GbE) speeds with integrated IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) hardware timing for low-latency network synchronization.
Mechanically designed as a 4-slot 3U PXI Express module (requiring one system slot plus three expansion slots), the assembly weighs approximately 906 g (2.00 lb) with the removable SSD installed. System power is drawn directly from the chassis backplane across standard voltage rails, consuming 0.7 A typical (1.7 A maximum) at +3.3 V, 1.2 A typical (3.0 A maximum) at +5 V, 7.7 A typical (8.5 A maximum) at +12 V, and 0.4 A typical (0.9 A maximum) on the +5 V auxiliary standby line. Engineered for harsh industrial rack environments, the unit features an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, 10% to 90% non-condensing relative humidity tolerance, 30 g peak operating shock resistance (11 ms half-sine), and 0.3 grms operational random vibration immunity.
