Table 1. NI 653x Specifications Overview (See page 391 for detailed specifications)
Overview and Applications
The NI 653x devices are high-speed, 32-bit, parallel, digital I/O
interfaces for PCI, PXI, PCMCIA, and ISA. They incorporate the
National Instruments DAQ-DIO ASIC, specifically designed to deliver
high performance on plug-in DIO devices. The NI 653x devices perform
unstrobed I/O, pattern I/O, and handshaking at speeds up to
20 MHz, or 80 Mbytes/s for 32-bit transfers (NI 6534). The NI 6534
family delivers digital I/O coupled with large onboard memory for high-
speed pattern I/O at deterministic rates.

patterns under timing control of a clock

signal. When using handshaking I/O to interface your NI 653x to a
peripheral device, data is transferred when both the NI 653x and the
peripheral are ready. See page 376 in the Digital I/O overview and
page 787 in the Digital I/O tutorial for more information.
Change Detection
You can program the 653x devices to acquire data when one or
more user-specified digital input lines changes state. See page
377 in the Digital I/O overview and page 787 in the Digital I/O
tutorial for more information.
Features
Data Latches and Drivers
The 32 digital I/O lines are divided into four 8-bit ports. For pattern
I/O or handshaking, the ports can be grouped into two 8-bit or
16-bit groups, or a single 32-bit group. When configured for output,
each data line can sink or source up to 24 mA when set logic low or
high, respectively. When configured as inputs, the 653x data lines
are diode-terminated to dampen the input signals at TTL levels.
When performing static or unstrobed I/O, you can individually
configure each of the 32 I/O lines as input or output.

Driver Software
With NI-DAQ driver software, you can configure your devices
interactively, write custom programs, and perform digital I/O
transfers easily. With NI-DAQ, the NI 6533 and NI 6534 devices
are software-compatible, providing a seamless upgrade path.
Sharing clocks and triggers between NI 653x and other
measurement devices is also greatly simplified. To get you started
with your application quickly, NI-DAQ includes numerous example
programs for LabVIEW and other ADEs.

Messaging
You can develop event-driven application programs with NI 653x devices
by programming them to generate a message when conditions you
specify are met. The messages can be generated when a specified
number of bytes have been transferred, when a specified input pattern
is matched, or when a measurement operation completes.
Onboard Memory
NI 6534 devices provide two groups of 32 MB of onboard memory, so
you can perform pattern I/O at deterministic high rates as long as the
patterns can fit in one of these memory locations. To improve system
performance for repetitive pattern output applications, you can load
your patterns into the onboard memory once and then output them
repeatedly, without reloading them across the computer bus.

NI 653x devices for PCI and PXI use the National Instruments MITE PCI
interface. The MITE provides bus-master operation, PCI burst transfers,
and high-performance DMA controllers for fast, continuous, scatter-

Multidevice Synchronization
All NI 653x devices except the DAQCard-6533 use
the PXI trigger bus or RTSI Bus to send and
receive clock and trigger signals to and from other
devices in your system. Using these buses, you
can create synchronized systems with large
numbers of digital I/O lines and systems in which
digital I/O is synchronized with other types of
measurements. The PXI-653x modules feature
phase-lock loop (PLL) circuitry
synchronize with other PLL devices.

All digital I/O is through a 68-pin cable connector.
See pin assignments and descriptions in
Figure 2 and Table 2. You can independently
select the power-on state for the control and
data lines through the use of CPULL and
DPULL, respectively.
*TB-2715 plugs directly into device; no cable required.
