11713D/E Attenuator/Switch Drivers
This configuration guide will assist you through the
process of configuring a switching system using the
Keysight 11713D/E attenuator/switch drivers.

Key Features
The Keysight 11713D/E attenuator/switch drivers provide remote or front panel drive control for
programmable attenuators and electromechanical or solid-state switches. Designed with both benchtop
and ATE environments in mind, these attenuator/ switch drivers provide an intuitive user interface, a
variety of switching options, software programmability and remote-control features for quick, easy
design validation and automated testing. Front panel pushbuttons and an easy-to-read LCD display
simplify setup of functions such as voltage, TTL functions, continuous or pulse-drive, IP address, etc.
The 11713D/E is an LXI Class C compliant instrument, so it can be easily controlled and triggered
remotely using a full-featured graphical web interface. This feature is used in high-volume production
environments. Software instrument drivers such as IVI-COM provide programming compatibility with
popular application development environments and support PC industry standards such as Component
Object Model (COM). Standard GPIB connectivity supports automated programmed scripting and
ensures backward compatibility to Keysight 11713B/C attenuator/switch drivers. These portable
instruments come in a half-rack, 2U design with self-contained current limiting power supplies. The
11713E model also includes integrated tri-voltage supplies of 5, 15 and 24 V and a user-defined
external input voltage capability to ensure 100% biasing compatibility to most relays in the market. The
11713E has two individual banks of outputs each with an independent voltage drive.
•
User-friendly interface provides quick set up, switching, and remote control of small-scale automated
test equipment (ATE)
•
Capability to drive Keysight’s programmable attenuators, electro-mechanical or solid-state switches with
continuous drive or pulse-drive selection
•
Controls up to 20 SPDT switches¹ concurrently, or a combination of 4 programmable attenuators and 4
SPDT switches
•
Multiple connectivity with LXI Class C compliance: GPIB, USB or LAN for easy remote integration
•
An integrated, tri-voltage power supply saves rack space (11713E only)
•
External VDC port connects any type of switch and provides forward compatibility for switches
•
Backward compatibility with the Keysight Technologies 11713B/C
•
Built-in counter monitors the life cycle of attenuators and switches
1. The number of switches and attenuators that can be driven will depend on the type of switch configurations and the attenua to r
sections. The 11713E capable of driving twice as many devices as the 11713D; however, the total load current that can be
consumed is still 3.4A.
2. Accepts most attenuators and switches available today. Including supporting solid state switches. Do not support 85331/2B solid
state switches and 8761A/B switches.
Two programmable attenuators and two
electromechanical/solid state switches
Four programmable attenuators and four

Product Configuration
The 11713D/E attenuator/switch drivers can be configured easily. The connection between the driver
and switching devices is intuitive and direct. Simply select the appropriate interface cable and you can
make point-to- point connection from the driver to the attenuator(s) and/or switch(es). Details such as
pin numbers and wires color are provided in the tables found in Configuration Information for Switches
and Configuration Information for Attenuators sections.
