The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System – At a Glance

The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System is a configurable, one rack- unit (1U) platform that lets you mix and match power modules to create a power system optimized for your test system requirements.

Agilent N6700–N6702 MPS mainframes are available in power levels of 400 W, 600 W, and 1,200 W. Up to four power modules can be installed in each mainframe. Power modules come in power levels of 50 W, 100 W, and 300 W, have various voltage and current combinations, and provide the following performance features:

The N673xB, N674xB, and N677xA DC Power Modules provide programmable voltage and current, measurement, and protection features, making these economical modules suitable for powering the device-under-test or system resources such as fixture controls.

The N675xA High-Performance, Autoranging DC Power Modules provide low noise, high accuracy, fast programming times, and advanced programming and measurement capabilities to speed test throughput.

The N676xA Precision DC Power Modules provide precise control and measurements in the milli- and micro-ampere region with the ability to simultaneously digitize voltage and current and capture those measurements into an oscilloscope-like data buffer.

The output and system features are described in the following sections. Not all output features are available on every power module. The “Model Differences” section describes the features that apply only to specific power modules.

Output Features

Programmable voltage Full programming capability is provided for the entire range of output

and currentvoltage and current. Outputs can operate as either constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) sources.

Fast command processing Command processing time of less than 1 millisecond per command.

Fast up/down	1.5 millisecond response time from 10% to 90% of the output rating for
programming	autoranging and precision power modules. Refer to Appendix A for details.
Fast transient response	Transient response is less than 100 microseconds for autoranging and
	precision power modules. Refer to Appendix A for details.
Low output noise	Output noise is 4.5 mV peak-to-peak for autoranging and precision power
	modules, which is comparable to linear supplies. Refer to Appendix A for
	details.
Autoranging capability	Autoranging produces the maximum rated power over a wide and
	continuous range of voltage and current settings for autoranging and
	precision power modules. Refer to Appendix A for details.
