Switching
The following components provide the switching capabilities of the S530.
Model 707B Switch Matrix Mainframe
The 707B Semiconductor Switch Matrix Mainframe is a programmable switch for connecting signal
paths in a matrix structure. The six-slot mainframe accepts any combination of compatible plug-in
matrix cards. Model 7530, Model 7072-HV, and Model 707-HVD matrix cards are used in the 707B in
S530 systems.

Model 7530 High-Speed Low-Current 8 × 12 Matrix Card
Low-current systems use the 7530 8 × 12 matrix card to support up to 60-pin connections to the
probe card adaptor (PCA).
Model 7072-HV High-Voltage Semiconductor Matrix Card
High-voltage systems use the 7072-HV matrix card to support up to 24-pin connections to the probe
card adaptor (PCA).
This card is not available for high-voltage systems with two 707B Semiconductor Switch Matrix
Mainframes. This system configuration uses two 7072-HVD matrix cards.
Model 7072-HVD High-Voltage Semiconductor Matrix Card
High-voltage systems may also use 7072-HVD high-voltage matrix cards to support up to 60 pin
connections to the probe card adaptor (PCA). The 7072-HVD is identical to the 7072-HV card, except
for additional circuitry designed to automatically discharge energy that may be accumulated in the
system cables and PCA under certain test conditions.
