Keysight P9400A/C PIN Transfer Switch Operating and Service Guide General Information Product Overview Key Features Circuit Logic This chapter provides an overview specifications of Keysight solid state PIN diode transfer switches.
The P9400A/C switches consist of series PIN diode switch IC and multiple shunt PIN diodes which offer unmatched isolation between ports. Ultra fast switching speed of <200 ns assures fast, reliable and accurate switching that is compatible with today’s high demand for superior RF performance system.
– Increase test setup flexibility with a broad operating frequency range – Increase test throughput effectively with high–speed switching time of <200 ns – Optimize system dynamic range with low insertion loss – Eliminate the need for external drivers with integrated TTL-compatible driver Keysight P9400A/C Operating and Service Guide...
General Information Circuit Logic Keysight P9400A/C switches come with integrated TTL- compatible driver that is configured in such a way that when a TTL high (logic 1) is applied to TTL pin of the switch, the paths from Port 1 to Port 2 and Port 3 to Port 4 of the switch are at low loss, while the paths from Port 1 to Port 3 and Port 2 to Port 4 are at high isolation.

Operating and Service Instruction This chapter describes the installation of the P9400A/C. The operating instruction quick- check procedure is included for verification test prior to usage. Service instructions on the repair and maintenance of the P9400A/C are also included in this chapter.
“Sales and Technical Support” on page 4). Keysight will arrange for repair or replacement of the damaged or defective equipment. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. 3 If you are returning the instrument under warranty or for service, repackaging the instrument requires original shipping containers and materials or their equivalents.
4 Repeat Step 2 and 3 for Port 3 and Port 4 of the switch. 5 Repeat Step 2 and 3 for Port 1 and Port 3 of the switch by applying logic ‘0’ (0 V to +0.8 V) to TTL. Keysight P9400A/C Operating and Service Guide...
The solid state PIN diode transfer switches do not have internal adjustments and should not be opened. Repair The P9400A/C solid state PIN diode transfer switches are not recommended for repair as most components cannot be easily removed. Keysight P9400A/C Operating and Service Guide...
