This board is a hybrid that can
drive different types of switches.
A 6-port switch requires twelve
coil drivers. With four coil dri-
vers remaining available, two
N181x switches can be added.
This is actually a fairly common
situation. Test systems often
need a combination of SP6T
and SP2T switches.
LED’s are paired from left to
right representing open/closed
per port. The N181x switches
use the rightmost four LED’s
in a paired configuration:
OPEN/CLOSED/OPEN/CLOSED.
Please refer to the Y1150A for
information on building a cable
for the N181x switches. Here
is an example of commonly
accessible part numbers for
building a cable for the 87x0x
switches. All parts can be
found at popular electronics
distributors (e.g. Digi-Key or
Newark), or you can purchase
