Keysight 11713D/E Operating and Service Manual
Key Features of Keysight 11713D/E Attenuator/Switch Driver
The 11713D attenuator/switch driver is a GPIB/USB/LAN compatible instrument that concurrently
drives up to two four-section programmable step attenuators and two microwave coaxial switches,
or up to 10 SPDT switches.
The 11713E attenuator/switch driver is a GPIB/USB/LAN compatible instrument that concurrently
drives up to four four-section programmable step attenuators and four microwave coaxial switches,
or up to 20 SPDT switches. The 11713E comes with tri-voltage selection of +5 V, +15 V and +24 V
and also permits user-defined voltage supply capability.
Compatible Keysight Attenuators and Switches
The 11713D/E attenuator/switch drivers are designed to drive the following Keysight attenuators
and switches. If you are using attenuators and switches made by another supplier, check the
switching characteristics against those specified in
. Refer to
Keysight
11713D/E Configuration Guide,

, for the most updated
list.
NOTE
The 11713D/E attenuator/switch drivers output continuous current and
support pulse drive. Please ensure your switching devices can withstand
continuous current or have a built-in current interrupt feature.
