Keysight 8710x Low PIM Coaxial Multiport Switches Operating and Service Manual Switch Configuration Driving the Switch 12 Standard Drive 13 TTL Drive (Option T24) 14 Electronic Position Indicators 15 This chapter provides you information on how to drive the switches using standard drive and TTL drive. Also included is the configuration to utilize the function of the position indicator.
Switch Configuration Driving the Switch Each RF path can be closed by applying ground (TTL “High” for Option T24) to the corresponding “drive” pin. In general, all other RF paths are simultaneously opened by internal logic. See Figure 2-1 drive connection diagrams. Drive Sense Drive...
Switch Configuration Standard Drive 1 Connect pin 1 to supply voltage (+20 Vdc to +32 Vdc) and pin 15 to ground. Pin 15 must always be connected to ground to enable the electronic N O T E position-indicating circuitry and drive logic circuitry. If pin 15 is not connected to power supply ground, catastrophic failure will C A U T I O N occur.
Switch Configuration TTL Drive (Option T24) 1 Connect pin 1 to supply voltage (+20 Vdc to +32 Vdc) and pin 15 to ground. Pin 15 must always be connected to ground to enable the electronic N O T E position-indicating circuitry and drive logic circuitry. In addition to the quiescent current supplying the electronic position-sensing circuitry, the drive current flows out of pin 15 (during switching) on TTL drive switches (option T24).
Switch Configuration Electronic Position Indicators The electronic position indicators consist of optically isolated, solid state relays which are driven by photo-electric sensors coupled to the mechanical position of the RF path’s moving elements (see Figure 2-2). The circuitry consists of a common which can be connected to an output corresponding to each RF path.
