IM-284.qxd 1/4/2004 11:40 PM Page 1 IM-284 INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TTL Driver Boards for 3200 & 3250 Series Programmable Attenuators (P/N 101-1704-000, 101-1705-000, 101-1798-000, 101-1798-001 & 101-1804-000) This documentation may not be reproduced in any form, for any purpose unless authorized in writing by Aeroflex / Weinschel, Inc. © Aeroflex / Weinschel, Inc. Frederick, Maryland 1998, 2001, 2004 REV. 1-04 IM-284.qxd 1/4/2004 11:40 PM Page 2 IM-284 GENERAL This manual provides general installation instructions and wiring data to be used as an aid in installing the TTL Driver Board Kits onto a Aeroflex / Weinschel 3200 and 3250 Series Programmable Attenuators. Also included are specifications and other technical data to help in the installation and operation of your 3200 Programmable Attenuator with the TTL Driver Board installed. DESCRIPTION These driver boards are designed to provide a TTL interface for a wide range of Aeroflex / Weinschel's existing relay based programmble attenuators. The boards will mount directly onto the control terminals of the programmable attenuator and can be permanently secured by soldering the TTL Driver Board to the feedthroughs of the programmable. These Driver Boards are available in two types with either a 10/14 pin ribbon cable connector (Option -1) or a 15 pin "D" connector (Option -2) This option fits limited models, refer to list below). Each type is supplied with a mating connector. Refer to Physical Dimensions for mating connector pin/wiring details. Two wires are specified for supply voltage and ground. The remaining wires will accept TTL control signals to activate or de-activate a particular attenuation cell. A TTL high will energize a cell to the high attenuation state, whereas a TTL low will maintain a cell in its zero attenuation state.

Permanently secure by soldering them to the feedthroughs. Trim feedthroughs (optional). CONTROL CONNECTOR WIRING: The Tables below show the connector's contact pin numbering scheme and the cell number/dB value at each contact pin of the control connector. Cell numbers are generally read from J1 to J2, with the most significant cell number being adjacent to the ground terminal. 10 Pin Ribbon Control Connector J3 Pin Locations: TTL Conn PIN No. (J3) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3200-1-1 3200-2-1 3201-1-1 dB (Cell) dB (Cell) dB (Cell ) 32 0.25 NC 1 0.5 NC 2 1 1 32* 2 2 4 4 4 8 8 8 16 16 16 32* 32 NC COM COM COM +Vcc +Vcc +Vcc 3201-2-1 dB (Cell) NC NC 30 10 30** 20 30** NC COM +Vcc 3201-4-1 dB (Cell) NC NC 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.6 NC NC COM + Vcc 3205-1-1 dB (Cell) NC NC NC 10 20 20 20 NC COM + Vcc 3205-2-1 dB (Cell ) NC NC NC 5 10 20 20 NC COM +Vcc 3205-3-1 dB (Cell) NC NC NC 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.8 NC COM + Vcc 3206-1-1 dB (Cell) NC NC 32 1 2 4 8 16 COM +Vcc 3250-63-1 dB (Cell) NC NC 32 1 2 4 8 16 COM +Vcc 15 Pin “D” & 14 Pin Ribbon Control Connector J3 Pin Locations: "D" Conn 3200-1-2 3200-2-2 PIN No. (J3) dB (Cell) dB (Cell) 1 32 32 2 16 16 3 8 8 4 4 4 5 32 0.25 6 1 0.5 7 2 1 8 32* 2 9 NC NC 10 GND GND 11 NC NC 12 NC NC 13 NC NC 14 NC NC 15 +Vcc +Vcc 3201-1-2 3201-2-2 dB (Cell ) dB (Cell) NC NC NC NC NC NC 16 30** 1 30** 2 10 4 30 8 20 NC NC GND GND NC NC NC NC NC NC NC NC +Vcc +Vcc *64 dB cell comprised of two 32 dB cells **60 dB cell comprised of two 30 dB cells ***Cable (P/N 101-1805) supplied with opt 2 NC = Not Connected 4 3201-4-2 dB (Cell) NC NC NC NC 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.6 NC GND NC NC NC NC + Vcc 3205-1-2 dB (Cell) NC NC NC 20 NC 10 20 20 NC GND NC NC NC NC +Vcc 3205-2-2 dB (Cell) NC NC NC 20 NC 5 10 10 NC GND NC NC NC NC +Vcc 3205-3-2 dB (Cell) NC NC NC 0.8 NC 0.1 0.2 0.4 NC GND NC NC NC NC +Vcc Cable*** Color Code BRN YEL GRN LT BLU VIO GRY WHT WHT/BLK RED BLK --------ORN 3209-1-1 dB (Cell) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.8 1 2 4 8 16 32 NC NC +Vcc GND IM-284.qxd 1/4/2004 11:40 PM Page 5 TTL DRIVER BOARDS FOR 3200 SERIES SPECIFICATIONS INTERFACE CONNECTOR: Option -1(Models 3200, 3201, 3205 and 3206): 10 pin .025 square post header on .1 center, mates with Amp connector 746285-1 or equivalent.
