Latest Features on the Series 5 ICT System
Incorporating External Electronics
This capability is enabled through both
hardware and software features added
to the i3070 Series 5 test system.
Introduction of utility card
The new utility card is an optional pin
card that will fit in a card slot in any
of the modules on the testhead. It
has three cavities in the card to allow
users to plug in their own custom
electronics for added functional test or
functionality during ICT. The user can
now design his own card and make it
part of the tester. One utility card can
be installed on each module. Each
custom electronics unit should come
with the necessary software drivers
that can be installed on the testhead
controller.
Each cavity on the utility card has two
connectors; one is mainly for a signal
bus to the board under test and the
other for power and control to the
external electronics installed in the
cavity.
Connecting external instru‑
ments or equipment
Balanced multiplexed 1:4 75 Ω ports
Two balanced 1:4 multiplexed 75 Ω
ports are available on the utility card to
allow users to add differential signals
to the board under test. These ports
can be used individually for single
sided signals.

General purpose relays
Eight general purpose relays are avail-
able on the utility card. The control of
these relays in software is the same
as for the general purpose relays on
the ASRU.
Flexible 1:6 multiplexed
power supply channels
The Utility Card allows 48 V at
10 A on each of two 1:6 port power
supply channels. Each power supply
channel can be user-configured to be
multiplexed to supply power to up to
six individual boards on a panel or the
individual relays can be configured to
switch together to enable testing of
a single board which requires 10 A
current power supplies.
Please refer to the Keysight data sheet
5990-4411EN (Keysight Utility Card
Specifications) for more details on the
utility card.
