Situation:
The 24-bit handler I/O of the E5070A units with the specified serial numbers may not function
normally. Due to the possible threshold-voltage anomaly of TTL input circuit at either of the I/O pins
2, 18 and 22 through 29, the handler I/O port may ignore the “Low” state of control input signals.
When the threshold voltage for TTL-Low level is too low (lower than 0.5 V), it is possible that control
input signal does not cross the threshold voltage (VLTH) though the “Low” level of the signal is
within the recommended voltage range (0 V to 0.5 V). As a result, a handler interface error occurs. See
Figure 1.
Old version of the E5070A/E5071A Programmer’s Guide has an error concerning the
Note:
recommended voltage range for the “Low” level of input signal. The correct voltage range is 0 V to
0.5 V.
Solution/Action:
When the threshold voltage of the handler I/O (either of the I/O pins) is too low, replace the A23
Handler I/O board with new one (P/N E5070-61006).
