The NI PXI-8820 consists of the following logic blocks on the CPU
module and the I/O (daughter card) module. The CPU module has the
following logic blocks:
•
The
processor
is an Intel
®
Celeron
®
1020E processor (2M cache,
2.2 GHz). The processor connects to the SO-DIMM block through the
DDR3 interface supporting up to 1333 MHz SO-DIMMs, the PCH
through a x4 DMI2 (Direct Media Interface) interface supporting up to
5 GT/s and through x4 FDI (Flexible Display Interface) supporting up
to 2.7 GT/s.
•
The
SO-DIMM
blocks consists of one 64-bit DDR3 SDRAM socket
that can hold up to 8GB of memory.
•
The
PCH
(Platform Controller Hub) provides the DisplayPort, USB,
PCI Express, LPC and SPI interfaces that connect to the peripherals on
the NI PXI-8820.
•
The
DisplayPort
block consists of 1 DisplayPort connector.
•
The
USB
block consists of 4 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectors.
•
The
Ethernet Port
block consists of an Intel
®
82579LM Gigabit
Network Connection.
•
The
Super I/O
block connects to 1 serial port and 1 ECP/EPP parallel
port.
•
The
SMB Front Panel Trigger
provides a routable connection of the
PXI triggers to/from the SMB on the front panel.
•
The
Watchdog
block consists of a watchdog timer that can reset the
controller or generate triggers.
•
The
PXI Connectors
connect the NI PXI-8820 to the PXI/
CompactPCI Express backplane.
