NI 5782R User Manual and
Specifications
The NI 5782 is an analog dual-input, dual-ouput, intermediate-frequency (IF) transceiver
adapter module designed to work with your NI FlexRIO™FPGA module. The NI 5782 features
two analog input (AI) channels with 14-bit sample rates of up to 250 MS/s. The NI 5782 also
has two analog output (AO) channels with 16-bit sample rates of up to 500 MS/s when using
both AO channels, or up to 1 GS/s when using only one AO channel.
This document contains signal information and specifications for the NI 5782R, which is
composed of an NI FlexRIO FPGA module and the NI 5782 adapter module. This document
also contains tutorial sections that demonstrate how to acquire data using a LabVIEW FPGA
example VI and how to create and run your own LabVIEW project with the NI 5782R.
Note NI 5782R refers to the combination of your NI 5782 adapter module and your
NI FlexRIO FPGA module. NI 5782 refers to your NI 5782 adapter module only.
Caution The protection provided by the NI 5782R can be impaired if it is used in

NI 5782 Component-Level Intellectual Property
(CLIP)
The LabVIEW FPGA Module includes component-level intellectual property (CLIP) for HDL
IP integration. NI FlexRIO devices support two types of CLIP: user-defined and socketed.
•User-defined CLIP allows you to insert HDL IP into an FPGA target, enabling VHDL code
to communicate directly with an FPGA VI.
•Socketed CLIP provides the same IP integration functionality of the user-defined CLIP, but
also allows the CLIP to communicate directly with circuitry external to the FPGA. Adapter
module socketed CLIP allows your IP to communicate directly with both the FPGA VI and
the external adapter module connector interface.
The following figure shows the relationship between an FPGA VI and CLIP.

The NI 5782 ships with socketed CLIP items that add module I/O to the LabVIEW project. The
NI 5782 ships with the following CLIP items:
1. NI 5782 Multiple Sample CLIP—The analog input channels generate two samples per
clock cycle at a clock rate that is half the sample rate. The analog output channels generate
four samples per clock cycle at a clock rate that is one quarter of the sample rate. The AI
default sample rate is 250 MHz, and the AO default sample rate is 500 MHz. The default
clock rate for this CLIP is 125 MHz. You can set a lower sample rate by using an external
Sample Clock.
This CLIP presents the data to the diagram in a decelerated format. The ADC data lands at
half the rate as the ADC clock. The DAC data must be presented in four time samples per
clock on each channel.
This CLIP provides access to two AI channels, two AO channels, eight bidirectional DIO
channels, four bidirectional PFI channels, and an input clock selector that can be configured
to use one of the following settings:
– Internal Sample Clock
– Internal Sample Clock locked to an external Reference Clock through the CLK IN
connector
– External Sample Clock through the CLK IN connector
– Internal Sample Clock locked to an external Reference Clock through
IoModSyncClock
– External Sample Clock through IoModSyncClock
This CLIP also contains an engine to program the CLK chip, ADCs, and DACs, either
through predetermined settings for an easier instrument setup, or through a raw SPI address
and data signals for a more advanced setup. The NI 5782 Multiple Sample CLIP is the
default CLIP.
2. NI 5782 Single Sample CLIP—The analog input channels generate one sample per clock
cycle and the analog output channels generate two samples per clock cycle. The default
clock rate for the Multiple Sample CLIP is 250 MHz. The Sample Clock rates of
AI (250 MHz) and AO (500 MHz) are the same as Multiple Sample CLIP. You can set
lower sample rates with the external Sample Clock.
This CLIP presents the data to the diagram at a clock rate such that the ADC data lands at
the same rate as the ADC clock. However, the DAC data must be presented in two time
samples per clock on each channel.
This CLIP provides access to two AI channels, two AO channels, eight bidirectional DIO
channels, four bidirectional PFI channels, and an input clock selector that can be configured
to use one of the following settings:
– Internal Sample Clock
– Internal Sample Clock locked to an external Reference Clock through the CLK IN
connector
– External Sample Clock through the CLK IN connector

– Internal Sample Clock locked to an external Reference Clock through
IoModSyncClock
– External Sample Clock through IoModSyncClock
This CLIP also contains an engine to program the CLK chip, ADCs, and DACs, either
through predetermined settings for an easier instrument setup, or through a raw SPI address
and data signals for a more advanced setup.
Refer to the NI FlexRIO Help for more information about NI FlexRIO CLIP items, how to
configure the NI 5782 with a socketed CLIP, and for a list of available socketed CLIP signals.
Connecting Cables
•Useany50ΩSMA cable to connect signals to the connectors on the front panel of your
NI 5782.
• Use the SHH19-H19-AUX cable (NI part number: 152629-01 or 152629-02) to connect to
the DIO and PFI signals on the AUX I/O connector.
For more information about connecting I/O signals on your device, refer to the Appendix A:
Specifications section of this document.
Clocking
The NI 5782 clocks control the sample rate and other timing functions on the device. Table 4
contains information about the possible NI 5782 clock resources.
