Attenuator Switch Driver

The Agilent (now Keysight) 11713A attenuator switch driver provides GPIB or local front panel drive control for programmable attenuators and electromechanical switches.

Concurrently drive up to two Agilent (now Keysight) 8494/5/6/7, 84904/6/7K/L programmable attenuators and two electromechanical switches ( 8761, 8762, or 8765 series).

The 11713A can also be used to supply +24 V common and ten pairs of current sinking contacts (total current draw less than 1.3A peak for 1 second, 0.65A steady state) to independently control up to 10 relays. An integral power supply with short circuit protection eliminates the need for an external power source.

Each 11713A is supplied with two plug-in drive cables to simplify connection to programmable attenuators. Switching time is less than 10 milliseconds.

Simple GPIB control of up to ten switch or attenuator sections

Drives two attenuators and two switches concurrently

Controls up to ten 24 V relays
