National Instruments 779370-01 Reconfigurable I/O Device

National Instruments part number 779370-01 is an identifying part number for the PCI-7813, a Digital Reconfigurable I/O Device. The NI 779370-01 device has a 3M Gate Virtex-II FPGA. It features a user-programmable FPGA for onboard processing and flexible I/O operation. You may set up each digital line as an input, output, counter/timer, PWM, encoder input, or unique communication protocol using LabVIEW FPGA.

Users can program custom onboard decision-making that executes with hardware-timed speed and reliability. This device is suitable for various applications, such as high-speed waveform generation, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, custom communications protocols, bit error rate tests, and other applications requiring precise timing and control. This model comes with an NSC68-262650 link that interfaces the signals on the 779370-01 connector directly to 5B and SSR backplanes. This link has a 68-pin male VHDCI connector on one end that fits into the connector. The other end of this link provides two 26-pin female connectors and one 50-pin female connector. 

The CompactPCI specification allows vendors to create sub-buses that coexist with the main PCI interface on the CompactPCI bus. Compatibility is not guaranteed between CompactPCI devices with different sub-buses. The part number 779370-01 offers 8 analog input channels, each utilizing a successive approximation type ADC for accurate signal conversion. It boasts a resolution of 16 bits, providing precise measurements with 1 part in 65,536 granularity. This setup ensures high fidelity in capturing analog signals across multiple channels, making it suitable for applications demanding detailed and reliable data acquisition.
