Versatile PXI Express 152 Channel 300V/2A Multiplexer

17 June 2014 - VTI Instruments announced the new SMX-3276 - a 152 channel, 300V/2A, 3U PXI Express multiplexer module designed for the scanning of multiple points to a common bus. The module can be reconfigured under program control for 1, 2, or 4-wire configurations providing the versatility necessary to be used in various applications. The module features signal bandwidth of up to 34 MHz and a crosstalk level down to -70dB at 100 kHz.

Other features of the SMX-3276 PXI Express 152 Channel Multiplexer include:

• Internal capacitive discharge relays that keep high voltages from disturbing sensitive measurement points
• 160-pin DIN connector for easy connectivity
• Extensive signal shielding that preserves signal integrity throughout the signal path by maintaining the signals at the same reference level as the UUT

"VTI is a recognized industry leader in modular signal switching solutions, and we are strengthening our heritage by offering highly versatile, instrument-grade modules on the PXI Express platform" said Tom Sarfi, VTI Instruments VP of Product Management. "The SMX-3276 exemplifies the value we bring to our customers. A single model number is suitable for switching high-level DC signals to 300 V, or signals with AC components in excess of 30 MHz, in multiple configurations.

As an extension of VTI's award winning EX1200 series switch family, the SMX series also provides seamless integration between the families, simplifying transition from a low to medium sized switch system in PXI Express, to a large scale switch system in the EX1200.
