The National Instruments PXI-2584 dual 6X1 1- wire high-voltage multiplexer, which occupies a single 3U PXI slot and offers CAT II certification at 300V, is capable of routing generalpurpose ATE loads or highvoltage, low-current signals.
With channel-to-ground isolation of up to 600V CAT I and multimode configurations, it is ideal for fuel cell and battery stack testing applications. The switch module offers an innovative interleaved topology for making differential measurements on 11 channels of a battery stack with just two 61-wire multiplexers, substantially reducing the total cost per differential channel. In traditional 2-wire topologies, each channel would use two wires across each device under test, limiting the switch module to six channels. By using each single input pin on the front connector at points in between potentials on a stack, the channel count extends to 11 2-wire channels.
