Clock Generation
Reference Frequency Source[14]14 Frequency Accuracy is inherited from PXIe_Clk100/PXI_Clk10. Use OCXO for PXIe_Clk100/PXI_Clk10 replacement for improved frequency accuracy and phase noise. | PXIe_Clk100 | ||||||
Base Frequency Resolution (150 MHz to 300 MHz) | 2.84217 μHz[15]15 This is the frequency resolution of the DDS used in the Clock Generation circuitry. For Clock Generation frequencies below 150 MHz, this resolution is divided down and for frequencies above 300 MHz, this resolution is multiplied up. | ||||||
| |||||||
Maximum Generated Frequency | 1 GHz [17]17 Clock Generation can be operated beyond the upper limit; however, NI does not guarantee performance beyond 1 GHz. 2 GHz is the maximum output frequency by design. |
Clock Generation Phase Noise Performance
The phase noise performance of the clock generation circuitry varies depending on what elements are used to generate the requested frequency. To generate frequencies above 300 MHz, a PLL is used to multiply the DDS frequency up which results in increased phase noise versus when the DDS is used directly (all frequencies below 300 MHz).
The following figure shows the phase noise of various frequencies coming from the multiplying PLL.
At 50 MHz, NI-Sync software will automatically switch between the high speed and low speed ClkOut drivers[18]18 Use ClkOutHS as the destination terminal to force NI-Sync to use the high speed driver below 50 MHz.. The phase noise performance of these two drivers differs, as shown in the following figure:

PXIe-DStarB
The PXIe-DStarB signals are LVDS signals that allow the PXIe-6674T to route high speed trigger signals to any other PXIe slot in a chassis. Each PXI Express slot in a chassis has its own PXIe-DStarB connection with the System Timing Slot.
By default, these are driven logic low until configured by software.
Maximum operating frequency | 200 MHz |
PXIe-DStarC
The PXIe-DStarC signals are LVDS signals that come from other PXI Express slots in a chassis. Each PXI Express slot in a chassis has a PXIe-DStarC connection with the System Timing Slot. These allow other modules in a PXIe-Chassis to share a trigger or clock signal with the PXIe-6674T. The PXIe-6674T can connect a signal received through PXIe-DStarC to the PXIe-DStarA network (when sharing a clock signal) or treat the PXIe-DStarC as a trigger source.
Maximum operating frequency when used with the PXIe-DStarA network | 1 GHz |
Maximum operating frequency when used for triggering | 200 MHz |

1 A duty cycle other than 50% will increase the minimum input swing. Refer to Maximum and Minimum Input Swing with Attenuation On for more information.
2 A duty cycle other than 50% will increase the minimum input swing. Refer to Maximum and Minimum Input Swing With Attenuation Off for more information.
3 Operation above the Absolute Maximum Input Powered On may cause damage to the device.
4 Absolute Maximum Input Powered Off is the maximum input signal amplitude that the device can tolerate before damage might occur while in an unpowered state.
5 The minimum frequency is limited by AC coupling.
6 After 72 hours of continuous operation.
7 OCXO also driven to PXI_CLK10_IN.
8 The PXIe backplane employs a PLL to phase lock PXI_CLK10 to the signal on PXI_CLK10_IN. As a result, the phase noise of PXI_CLK10 above about 1 kHz offset is unchanged, regardless of reference used.
9 10 MHz PLL filter is designed for a 10 MHz phase detector frequency. Any other reference frequency will default to a phase detector frequency of 1 MHz resulting in a slight degradation of PLL performance.
10 The PXIe backplane employs a PLL to phase lock PXI_CLK10 to the signal on PXI_CLK10_IN. As a result, the phase noise of PXI_CLK10 above about 1 kHz offset is unchanged, regardless of reference used.
11 Operation of low speed ClkOut above 50 MHz is possible however NI does not guarantee performance. Use ClkOutLS as the destination terminal to force NI-Sync to use the low speed driver above 50 MHz.
12 Operation above 1 GHz is possible but NI does not guarantee performance.
13 Routing PXIe-DStarA to ClkOut requires routing through either Banks 0, 1, or 2.
14 Frequency Accuracy is inherited from PXIe_Clk100/PXI_Clk10. Use OCXO for PXIe_Clk100/PXI_Clk10 replacement for improved frequency accuracy and phase noise.
15 This is the frequency resolution of the DDS used in the Clock Generation circuitry. For Clock Generation frequencies below 150 MHz, this resolution is divided down and for frequencies above 300 MHz, this resolution is multiplied up.
16 When routed to ClkOut Low Speed or used as a trigger synchronization clock, Clock Generation can be further divided by theFPGA by factors of two up to 24. This extends the Clock Generation range down to 4.6875 MHz/224=.2794 Hz. When routed to ClkOut High Speed the minimum frequency is 4.6875 MHz. Use ClkOutHS as the destination terminal to force NI-Sync to use the low speed driver below 50 MHz. Note that AC coupling on ClkOut limits the minimum frequency which can be used.
17 Clock Generation can be operated beyond the upper limit; however, NI does not guarantee performance beyond 1 GHz. 2 GHz is the maximum output frequency by design.
18 Use ClkOutHS as the destination terminal to force NI-Sync to use the high speed driver below 50 MHz.
19 Maximum Frequency may exceed 1 GHz, however, performance is not guaranteed.
20 Ensure that the specifications of interest match the revision label on your board.
21 PFI Input switching behavior is a function of both the threshold setting and hysteresis.
22 Input Voltage Swing below 400mV may be possible but performance is not guaranteed.
23 Operation beyond 150MHz frequency may be possible but performance is not guaranteed.
24 PFI line will float to 0.45V when configured in high impedance mode with no external signal connected as input.
25 Operation beyond 150 MHz frequency may be possible but performance is not guaranteed.
26 Operation with greater voltage swing will not damage the device but performance characteristics are not guaranteed.
27 Maximum Input Voltage Range is any combination of input voltage swing and common mode voltage. For example, a 200 mV differential swing with common mode voltage of 100 mV is acceptable as the lowest applied voltage to the input would be 0 V. A 200 mV differential swing with common mode less than 100 mV would cause the applied voltage to fall below 0 V and therefore would not be acceptable.
28 Operation beyond 1 GHz is possible but performance is not guaranteed.
29 Operation beyond 200 MHz is possible but performance is not guaranteed. This limitation comes from the FPGA, not the LVDS receiver.
30 Operation beyond 1 GHz is possible but performance is not guaranteed.
31 Operation beyond 200 MHz is possible but performance is not guaranteed. This limitation comes from the FPGA, not the LVDS driver.
32 Typical Delay is measured from the input to the PXIe-6674T at the connector to the output at the connector. For example, Single Ended PFI to PXI-Star is the delay from the Single Ended PFI SMA connector to the PXI-Star at the backplane connector.
33 Typical Skew is defined as the difference in arrival time of a rising edge on a common source to two or more outputs with in a trigger destination, as seen as the connector. For example, if Single Ended PFI(0) is asynchronously routed to all PXI-Star lines, the typical skew would be less than .75 ns.
34 Clock to Out Time is the amount of time it takes for a logic change on a synchronous trigger to appear (at the connector) with respect to the rising edge of PXI-Clk10 (at the backplane connector) that it is synchronized to. Refer to the Synchronous Routing section of Chapter 3, Hardware Overview, for more information.
35 Setup Time is the amount of time before a rising edge of PXI-Clk10 (at the backplane connector) that a logic level must be valid on the trigger source (at the connector) in order for the trigger destination to update. Refer to the Synchronous Routing section of Chapter 3, Hardware Overview, for more information.
36 Hold Time is the amount of time after a rising edge of PXI-Clk10 (at the backplane connector) that a logic level must be valid on the trigger source (at the connector) in order for the trigger destination to update. Refer to the Synchronous Routing section of Chapter 3, Hardware Overview, for more information.
