34925A 40/80-Channel Optically-Isolated FET Multiplexer 
The 34925A 40/80-Channel Optically-Isolated FET Multiplexer (40/80-Ch FET 
MUX) module is a high-speed and high-density FET MUX for high throughput 
production test. This module is divided into two equal banks of non-latching FET 
switches. This module also contains four armature Analog Bus relays. Through 
ABus1 and ABus2 you can connect any of the channels to the internal DMM for 
voltage or resistance measurements. When the power is off, all channel and 
Analog Bus relays open. 
Using program commands or the mainframe front panel, you can control each of 
the FET channel switches individually, and configure this module for differential 
(2-wire or 4-wire) or single-ended (1-wire) mode. Refer to the simplified 
schematics on page 53 and page 58. 
If you are using an Keysight 34925T-00x terminal block to connect your DUT to 
this module, be sure to use the terminal block that corresponds to your module 
configuration mode (Refer to the terminal block drawings on page 57 and 
page 62):
You can confirm the mode in which your module is configured by using the 
SYSTem:CTYPe? <slot number> program command. This command returns the 
identity of the plug-in module in the specified slot. 
Two-Wire Mode 
– two independent 20-channel 2-wire MUXes. This configuration requires 
neither using external wiring nor connecting through the internal Analog Bus 
relays.
34925T-001 (Option 001) Terminal block for differential (two- or four-wire) mode
34925T-002 (Option 002) Terminal block for single-ended (1-wire) mode
Whenever you change from 2- or 4-wire mode to 1-wire mode, or the reverse, 
you must cycle power on the 34980A for the configuration to take effect.
