Signal Switch Channels (AMXR)
Universal Digitally Controlled Analog Switches/Multiplexers
General Technical Data for all Signal Switch Channels
Characteristics
- Digitally controlled, galvanically isolated electronic analog switches
Switches
- Maximum operating voltages: up to 1.5 kV (3 kV or more upon request)
- High-voltage isolation (option H) available for all voltages
- Indicator: multicolor LED
- Red = output positive, blue = output negative
- Three-level switches only: green = output middle
Connectors
- Control inputs (Sockets In): BNC sockets (LEMO optional)
- Dual-level switches: 1 control input
- Three-level switches: 2 control inputs
- Polarity selection: slide switch(es) inside the module
- Output resistance: 50 kΩ pull-up against +5 V, termination by 50 Ω connectable via slide switch inside the module
- Input level: TTL
- Switch terminals: SHV sockets (MHV, BNC or LEMO optional), galvanically isolated
- Dual-level switches: 3 switch terminals
- Three-level switches: 4 switch terminals
General
- 19" plug-in modules
- Height: 3 U
- Width: dependent on voltage and switch type, starting from 6 HP = 1 slot
(some modules occupy several slots in the base unit)
Equivalent Circuits
Dual-level switch:
- Vneg ≤ Vout ≤ Vpos must be fulfilled at all times (even when the switch is deactivated)
Three-level switch:
- Vneg ≤ Vout ≤ Vpos and Vneg ≤ Vmid ≤ Vpos must be fulfilled at all times (even when the switch is deactivated)
When a channel is deactivated, all relay contacts are opened. The dual-level switch therefore has 3 and the three-level switch has 4 possible states.
