The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System – At a Glance
The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System is a configurable, 1U (rack
unit) high platform that lets you mix and match power modules to
create a power system optimized for your test system requirements.
Up to four power modules can be installed in each Agilent N6700A/B
MPS mainframe. Power modules come in power levels of 50 and 100
Watts, have various voltage and current combinations, and provide
the following output performance levels:
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 N673xA/B and N674xA/B 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 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 and
current Full programming capability is provided for the entire range of output voltage and
current. O
utputs 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
programming 1.5 millisecond response time from 10% to 90% of the output rating for 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 typically 4 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.
Output On/Off
sequencing A turn-on/turn-off delay capability for each output allows output on/off sequencing.
