A National Instruments Alternative: Conduant PXIe Boards and Storage at Lower Cost.
Conduant PXIe FPGA boards and PXI storage modules fit your existing chassis, match or exceed NI performance specifications, and cost significantly less. US-based engineers support every evaluation and integration.
Our engineers discuss your specific requirements directly. No account rep in between.
Common Evaluation Questions
Three Things Engineers Check Before Replacing an NI Board
Chassis fit, performance parity, and software integration come up in every evaluation. Here is what the data shows.
"Will it fit in my PXI chassis?"
Conduant boards follow the PXI Express standard and seat in any standard PXIe slot. Backplane clocks and triggers are shared with other cards in the system, which is the same behavior you get with NI hardware.
In practice: Physical installation is the process your team already knows. No chassis modifications and no adapter hardware required.
"Will I be giving up performance?"
On most comparisons, Conduant matches or outperforms the NI equivalent. The PXIe-8300 carries 1,176,000 logic cells and a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface. The NI PXIe-6591 and 6592 ship with a Kintex 7 FPGA on Gen2, which is a generation behind.
In practice: Side-by-side spec tables are on every model comparison page. Bring your requirements and our engineers walk through the numbers with you.
"What about software and integration?"
Conduant delivers core FPGA IP for all major board components: PCIe interface, high-speed memory, and optical interfaces. Your team builds application logic on top of working, tested IP rather than writing drivers from scratch. Standard PXI APIs apply throughout.
In practice: Development starts on day one with working IP in hand. Engineering support is available throughout the integration process.
Spec Advantages Over NI Equivalent Models
Direct comparisons across the NI replacement categories with the highest search and purchase activity.
NI PXIe-6591/6592 are Gen2. Conduant PXIe-8300 ships Gen3 standard.
Up to 1,451,000 logic cells on the PXIe-8324-DSP. Kintex 7 is legacy.
4x the DRAM and higher bandwidth than NI PXIe-6591 and 6592.
Dual MPO24 fiber interfaces at 16.3 Gbps per lane for data-intensive applications.
PCIe, memory, and optical interface IP delivered with the board. No third-party licensing.
Connectors accessible from the front of the chassis. No rear-access gymnastics during integration.

Technology Partners
Built on AMD. Validated with Keysight.
Conduant is an AMD Adaptive Computing Select Partner. Our FPGA boards run AMD Kintex Ultrascale devices — the same silicon family used in top-tier NI products, at a fraction of the system cost.
AMD Kintex Ultrascale FPGA
Current-generation FPGA architecture with significantly higher logic capacity than the Kintex 7 devices found in older NI boards.
Keysight Instrument Integration
Conduant boards integrate directly with Keysight measurement instruments via the Keysight ODI partnership for test-focused deployments.
Open IP Architecture
Core FPGA IP is delivered with the hardware. No proprietary software lock-in. Your engineers own the application logic they build.
Upgrade Path Preserved
PXIe standard compliance means future Conduant boards will fit the same chassis. Switching once doesn't lock you into a dead-end product family.
