The National Instruments PCI-7813R is a highly versatile Digital Reconfigurable I/O Device from the R Series, designed to meet the demands of applications requiring precise timing and control. This robust I/O device features 160 bidirectional digital I/O channels and is particularly well-suited for high-speed waveform synthesis, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, custom communication protocols, and bit error rate testing. At its core is the powerful Virtex-II V3000 FPGA, which provides flexible I/O operation and enables user-defined onboard processing, allowing for custom decision-making and system timing at hardware-timed speeds. The FPGA is equipped with 28,672 flip-flops and 1,728 kbits of embedded block RAM to enhance processing capabilities.

The PCI-7813R requires a power supply of +3.3 VDC at 850 mA and offers 4.50 to 5.25 VDC at 1 A available at its four high-density 68-pin female VHDCI I/O connectors. Operating conditions are designed for indoor use, with an operational temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and a storage range of –20 °C to 70 °C, compliant with IEC-60068-2-1 and IEC-60068-2-2 standards. This device has physical dimensions of 6.7 inches by 4.3 inches (17 cm by 11 cm) and weighs 112 grams. Although the PCI-7813R has reached its Mature LifeCycle Status, it remains available for purchase and servicing through Apex Waves. It is backed by a three-year warranty, and relevant user and maintenance manuals can be downloaded. For purchasing inquiries, please contact a sales representative for a quote.
