    This document lists specifications for the PXI-2796 (PXI-2796) multiplexer module. All specifications are subject to change without notice. Visit ni.com/manuals for the most current specifications.

    About These Specifications

    Specifications characterize the warranted performance of the instrument under the stated operating conditions.

    Typical Specifications are specifications met by the majority of the instrument under the stated operating conditions and are tested at 23 °C ambient temperature. Typical specifications are not warranted. The following specifications are typical at 23 °C unless otherwise specified.

    All voltages are specified in DC, ACpk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

    Topology

    Dual 6 × 1 multiplexer

    Refer to the NI Switches Help at ni.com/manuals for detailed topology information.

    spd-note-caution
    Caution  

    The protection provided by the PXI-2796 can be impaired if it is used in a manner not described in this document.

    Input Characteristics

    Maximum voltage (cold-switching only)

    30 Vrms
    spd-note-caution
    Caution  

    Do not switch active RF signals. As a relay actuates, the channel is momentarily unterminated. Some RF sources can be damaged by reflections if their outputs are not properly terminated. Refer to your RF source documentation for more information.

    Maximum carry current (per channel)

    0.6 Arms

    Maximum RF carry power (50 Ω load)

    18 W
    spd-note-note
    Note  

    The switching power is limited by the maximum switching current and the maximum voltage. Channel to common switching power must not exceed 18 W.

    spd-note-note
    Note  

    National Instruments recommends against switching RF signals below -35 dBm with this device.
