The Keysight 10465A is an unterminated ECL data pod accessory engineered to expand the output channel capacity of Keysight 1670G Series pattern generators. Each pod delivers eight independent output channels, enabling modular scaling from 8 to 32 channels per instrument by supporting up to four data pods in a single system configuration. The 10465A operates without termination at the pod outputs, making it suitable for ECL-level signaling in high-speed digital test applications.
Technical Specifications
• Logic Level: ECL (unterminated)
• Output Type: 10H115 (no termination)
• Maximum Clock Frequency: 200 MHz
• Output Channels: 8 per pod
• Channel Skew (Typical): <1 ns (measured at pod connector with ~10 pF/50 kΩ load to ground)
• Channel Skew (Worst Case): 2 ns (worst-case circuit calculation)
– Key Features
• Unterminated ECL output configuration for direct ECL interfacing
• Tight channel-to-channel skew performance supports precision timing applications
• Modular design allows 1 to 4 data pods per pattern generator
• Each pod paired with Keysight 10347A lead set for complete 8-channel assembly
• Operates in concert with single clock pod for synchronized multi-channel pattern generation
– Typical Applications
• Multi-channel ECL logic testing and validation
• High-speed digital circuit characterization requiring eight or more synchronized outputs
• Pattern generation for component qualification and functional test
– Compatibility & Integration
The 10465A integrates exclusively with Keysight 1670G Series pattern generators. Operation requires one Keysight 10347A lead set per data pod. System architecture supports one clock pod and up to four data pods, providing maximum channel capacity of 32 outputs per instrument.
