3U Intel
®
Core™ i7-2715QE 2.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor-based PXI Controller
Introduction
The ADLINK PXI-3980 PXI embedded controller, based on the second generation Intel
®
Core™ i7 processor is specifically
designed for hybrid PXI based testing systems, delivering a rugged yet stable platform for a wide variety of testing and
measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art 2.1 GHz quad-core Intel
®
Core™ i7-2715QE processors (3.0 GHz maximum in single-core,
Turbo Boost mode), and up to 16 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, the PXI-3980 utilizes four separate computing engines
on a single processor, enabling execution of numerous independent tasks simultaneously.
The ADLINK PXI-3980 provides ample interface flexibility, including dual USB 3.0 connections for high speed peripheral
devices, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, with one for LAN connection and the other for controlling LXI instruments, four USB
2.0 ports for peripheral devices and USB instrument control, and a Micro-D GPIB connector for GPIB instrument connec-
tion, for hybrid PXI-based testing systems control.
