The Keysight E4885A is a UTOPIA Level 2 (MultiPHY) interface solution transmit POD designed to interface between an Instrument Under Test (IUT) and an HP E4821A measurement system. This legacy component supports 8/16-bit UTOPIA Level 2 (MultiPHY) interfaces and operates as a port output device within test and measurement configurations.
Technical Specifications
• Interface Standard: UTOPIA Level 2 (MultiPHY) for 8/16-bit interfaces
• Product Type: TX POD (Transmit Port Output Device)
• System Role: Interfaces between IUT and HP E4821A
• Manufacturer: Keysight (formerly Agilent) – Key Features • Dedicated transmit pod architecture for UTOPIA Level 2 systems
• 8/16-bit MultiPHY interface support
• Legacy product with potential ongoing support through Keysight contact center
• Repair and calibration services may be available – Typical Applications The E4885A serves in automated test environments requiring UTOPIA Level 2 interface validation. It enables characterization of components and subsystems implementing 8/16-bit MultiPHY interface protocols. – Compatibility & Integration The E4885A pairs with the Keysight E4886A RX POD to form a complete bidirectional interface solution. Integration with the HP E4821A provides the system controller and measurement engine. This combination supports full-duplex testing of UTOPIA Level 2 interfaces in production and development environments.
