The Keysight N6700 Modular Power System – At a Glance
The Keysight 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.
Keysight 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 20 W
through 500 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 models 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 N678xA Source/Measure Units (SMU) have a multiple-quadrant
power mesh with separate voltage and current priority source
modes. These models are optimized for applications such as battery
drain analysis and functional testing.
The N6783A Application-Specific DC Power Modules are two-
quadrant low-wattage models specifically designed for battery
charging/discharging and mobile communications applications.
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.
Programmable voltage
and current
Full programming capability is provided for the entire range of output
voltage and current. Outputs can operate as either constant voltage (CV) or
constant current (CC) sources.
