PXIe-3985
3U Intel® Core™ i7-4700EQ Quad-Core Processor-based PXI Express Controller
Introduction
The ADLINK PXIe-3985 PXI Express embedded controller, based on the fourth generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor
is specifically designed for hybrid PXI Express-based testing systems, delivering maximum computing power for a wide
variety of testing and measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art 2.4GHz quad-core Intel® Core™ i7-4700EQ processors (3.4GHz maximum in single-core,
Turbo Boost mode), and up to 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L memory, the PXIe-3985 utilizes four separate computing
engines on a single processor, enabling execution of numerous independent tasks simultaneously in a multi-tasking environ-
ment. With a configurable PCIe switch, the PXIe-3985 can support four links x4 or two links x16 and x8 PXI Express link
capability, with maximum system throughput of up to 8 GB/s.
The ADLINK PXIe-3985 provides ample interface flexibility, including two DisplayPort connectors, allowing connection to
two monitors, dual USB 3.0 connections for high speed peripheral devices, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, with one for LAN
connection and the other for controlling LXI instruments, four USB 2.0 ports for peripheral devices and USB instrument
control, and a Micro-D GPIB connector for GPIB instrument connection, for hybrid PXI-based testing systems control.
