The National Instruments PXI-2536 High-Density FET Matrix Switch Module (Part Number: 778572-36) is engineered for high-performance applications with its compact, single-slot, 3U PXI form factor, featuring 544 crosspoints arranged in a 4x136 one-wire configuration, and designed as an 8x68 one-wire matrix. Utilizing field effect transistor (FET) switch technology, the PXI-2536 provides unparalleled benefits including an infinite mechanical lifespan and fast switching speeds of up to 50,000 crosspoints per second, making it particularly well-suited for routing low-power DC signals in the validation and testing of high-volume production devices such as semiconductor chips. This module can be seamlessly integrated with the NI PXI-4110 programmable power supply and the NI PXI-4071 71/2-digit FlexDMM to establish high-density automated test systems capable of handling up to ±12 VDC/8 VAC.

For enhanced functionality, the PXI-2536 comes with the NI-SWITCH IVI-compliant driver, allowing streamlined control of all switch modules. Users can further optimize their testing processes with switch management software like NI Switch Executive, which aids in organizing, naming switch modules, and managing signal paths, thereby increasing code reuse and system efficiency. The module measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches and weighs just 5.6 ounces, supported by a warranty of 2-3 years. For detailed instructions, user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
