Digital Routing and Clock
Generation
The digital routing circuitry has the following main functions:
• Manages the flow of data between the bus interface and the acquisition/generation
sub-systems (analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and the counters). The digital routing
circuitry uses FIFOs (if present) in each sub-system to ensure efficient data movement.
• Routes timing and control signals. The acquisition/generation sub-systems use these
signals to manage acquisitions and generations. These signals can come from the following
sources:
– Your X Series device
– Other devices in your system through RTSI
– User input through the PFI terminals
– User input through the PXI_STAR terminal
• Routes and generates the main clock signals for the X Series device.
Clock Routing
Figure 9-1 shows the clock routing circuitry of an X Series device.
