The National Instruments 788917-01, also known as the PXIe-7903, is a high-speed serial instrument crafted for engineers who demand FPGA-based coprocessing capabilities. This module features the advanced Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA, enabling efficient testing, interfacing, and validation of a variety of high-speed serial protocols. With 48 multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs), it accommodates data rates ranging from 500 Mb/s to 28.2 Gb/s, making it highly versatile for diverse high-speed communication applications.

For precise timing control, the PXIe-7903 is equipped with SMA connectors for both clock input (CLK IN) and clock output (CLK OUT). The clock output can support frequencies from 2.344 MHz to 1,000 MHz with peak-to-peak voltage ranges of 0.61 V to 1.04 V, while the clock input accepts frequencies between 10 MHz and 300 MHz, operating within a 0.3 V to 4 V peak-to-peak range. The onboard reconfigurable FPGA boasts 2,835K logic cells and 9,216 DSP slices, allowing extensive customization through the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Additionally, it includes 20 GB of onboard DRAM clocked at 1333 MHz, offering a maximum theoretical data rate of 53.2 GB/s, ideal for high-speed data processing tasks.

The PXIe-7903 also supports eight bidirectional digital I/O (DIO) channels, facilitating single-ended signal types across multiple voltage families (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) with a maximum frequency of 60 MHz, enhancing compatibility with various digital systems. It features 60 DMA channels, optimizing data transfer efficiency through the PCI Express Gen-3 x8 interface. Designed for demanding industrial environments, this module operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and can withstand storage temperatures from -40 °C to 71 °C. Its robust construction ensures durability against vibrations and shocks typically encountered in industrial or testing contexts. The power requirement for the 788917-01 is up to 164 W, making it a powerful and reliable solution for high-speed serial applications.
