The Keithley 7173-50 combines high frequency performance with excellent DC switching characteristics. It provides 200 MHz bandwidth in a 4X12 configuration. Offset voltage is <15µV per crosspoint, and offset current is <200pA. The combined AC and DC capabilities make it ideal for mixed signal applications where both high frequency and low level DC signals must be switched-for example, testing ADCs or DACs, which involves measuring both digital and analog signals.

The Model 7153-50 has a rise time of <2ns. It also features 2-pole switching at each cross point–HI and Shield–useful in 4-wire capacitance measurements where it is important to tie the shields of each connection together at the capacitance meter. BNC card connections are compatible with a wide variety of test equipment.

The Model 7173-50-CSEP expansion cables are four 25-inch cables and can expand a switching configuration to include more than one Model 7173-50. One cable is required to expand each row or column connection between adjacent cards. For example, connect the rows of two 7173-50 cards to create a 4×24 matrix or connect the columns to create an 8×12 matrix.
