M9170A PXI Attenuator/Switch
Driver Module
Conguration Guide

Overview
This conguration guide will help you congure your
PXI attenuator/switch driver module with the expansive
portfolio of Keysight Technologies, Inc., RF and
microwave step attenuators and electromechanical
switches.
For more detailed product information and specications,
please refer to the following:
– M9170A Data Sheet (literature no. 5991-0130EN)
– M9170A Flyer (literature no. 5991-0053EN)
Key Features and Benets
The M9170A is a one-slot PXI attenuator/switch driver
module that provides drive control for the Keysight
Technologies, Inc. RF and microwave step attenuators
and electromechanical switches. This cost effective
solution offers limitless topologies for creating various
congurations for signal routing and signal conditioning,
driving external switches and attenuators through its dual
20-pin header.
– Drive up to 12 external SPDT switches, or 4 external
SP4T/6T switches, or 12 transfer switches, or 2
external attenuators. Improve testing efciency while
maximizing the PXI chassis slot utilization, which
ultimately improves testing efciency.
– Dual voltage supply of 5V and 24V and dual driving
mode for pulse and continuous, ensures biasing
compatibility for most switches on the market, hence
increasing system exibility.
– Soft front panel provides a dynamic dashboard view
and control of the connected attenuators or switches.
Indicated on the front panel is the selected device
model and the subsequent switch path or attenuation
levels.
– Point-to-point interface cable options are available for
connecting driver to switching device. Intuitive and
direct conguration for all Keysight switches and
attenuators.

Product congurations
This document will serve as a step-by-step guide to congure the point-to-point connection between the M9170A
with Keysight’s attenuators and electromechanical switches. Please refer to the various gures detailing the type of
customized interface cables, switch/attenuator options, and most importantly, the cross-reference tables that provide all
the necessary details (i.e. pin numbers, wires colors, etc.) to connect the varied combinations of switches or attenuators
to the M9170A module.

Step 1. Determine the device’s model and option (DC connector)
Example Model: 87104D (SP4T switch)
Option: 100 (solder terminal)
Step 2. Determine the M9170A’s interface cable option
Example Model: M9170
Option 201 (20 pin to bare wire interface cable assembly)
Step 3. Use the selection guide, Table 1 for switches and Table 2 for attenuators to
determine which conguration table to use for further reference.
Example Selection Guide: Table 1 (for switches)
Conguration Table: Table 5-A
Step 4. Congure your switching system using Table 5-A (page 9) as a reference
