Agilent 16720A (and 16522A) Pattern Generator Pod Schematics
ZGoode:
So I have started working on this effort as well since I don't want to shell out 1000+ for a full set and think I have made some progress. I'd love some feedback here, particularly on the 10473A/10476A/10483 schematic since I am not entirely sure how the 74CBT3244 is being used as a level translator here.
Unfortunately I do physically posses any of these pods, so I have no way to do a continuity check to see if I have wired up my designs correctly.
I'm not planning to really bother with the 10468A, 10469A, 10470A, or 10471A since I do not have any use for PECL and LVPECL. I would like to have a set of these to just have a complete set, but it is proving difficult for me to find a source for the chips used in these pods. I have been able to track down a source for every other chip except for these.
EDITED: added schematics for E8141A and 10462A
ZGoode:
I'm now starting to doubt my wiring for my 10473A/10476A/10483 schematic due to not being sure how the BAV99 is being used here. For anyone who owns a 10473A, 10476A, 10483, 10472A, 10475A, or 10477A I'd love if someone might be willing to do a few continuity tests to determine what pins the VCC and GND of the 74CBT3244, 3 pins of the BAV99, 3 pins of the LT1117, and VCC and GND of the 74ACV16244 are connected to. I think there might be some fun little tricks going on with the power rails here, but I don't own any of these six pods to verify that for myself.

Subscribing to this thread as I'm on the hunt for a 16720A pattern generator and there is a fair chance when I find one (at a reasonable price) that it won't come with pods.
ZGoode:
I just got my hands on a 10473A 3-State 2.5V pod which means I should be able to reverse engineer the last few schematics that I haven't done yet
