The NI PXI-8109 consists of the following logic blocks on the CPU
module and the I/O module. The CPU module has the following logic
blocks:
• FPGA 988A Socket is the socket definition for the Intel Core i7
processor.
• The SO-DIMM block consists of two 64-bit DDR3 SDRAM sockets
that can hold up to 4 GB each.
• The CPU connects to the DDR3 SDRAM, TI XIO2001 bridge, and
Intel 5 Series chipset.
• The SMB to PXI Trigger provides a routable connection of the PXI
triggers to/from the SMB on the front panel.
