The Agilent/Keysight 10473A is a 2.5 V data pod that expands the output capabilities of Agilent’s 16720A and 1670G-004 pattern generators. Operating at clock speeds up to 300 MHz, this pod delivers low-skew digital signals for functional and timing validation in high-speed digital test environments. Each pattern generator requires a minimum of one clock pod and supports up to four data pods, enabling multi-channel stimulus generation with synchronized timing. The 10473A implements the 74AVC16244 logic family, providing TTL-compatible switching with predictable timing characteristics.
