Additional Operating Information
Using Single-Coil Switches and Attenuators
Some microwave
switches require a single drive (coil). With single coil devices,
note that the channel numbering is not consecutive across all channels in a
bank (see Chapter 2 “Channel Numbering).
The 34945A can provide single coil devices with either pulsed or continuous
drive current. Settings and parameters for continuous drive mode are given in
the next section.
Continuous Drive Mode
Driving non-latching devices requires a power supply capable of handling
sustained high current requirements. You may only use continuous drive
current with channels configured for single drive. Additionally, to prevent an
overcurrent condition within the power supply, care must be taken when
operating more than one continuous drive at a time. The drive type may be
configured as either TTL or open-collector.
Using Continuous Drive
Figure 5-2 illustrates the continuous drive signals for two channels (switches)
and the relationship of the drive parameters to the power supply
requirements.
Figure 5-2. Continuous Drive Signals.
As shown in the figure, the drive signal is initially applied to channel 1. Drive
is applied to channel 2 only after a power supply recovery period has elapsed
T(Recovery).
