R&D Engineers are Under Time Pressure New Instrument Category for R&D Engineers to Increase Productivity Due to increasing time-to-market pressures, research and development engineers often find themselves on tight schedules to work through device under test (DUT) testing. Along with being driven faster, the R&D engineers can face a high regret factor should their haste result in damaging scarce, complex’ or expensive DUTs during product development.
Modular System Based on DC Power Supply Outputs The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer is a modular system that can be tailored to meet specific test needs. At the heart of the DC power analyzer is the DC power module. The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer is a mainframe that has four slots to accept one to four DC power modules. Each DC power module takes one slot, except for the N6750 high-performance autoranging and N6760 precision power modules that are ≥ 300 W, which occupy two slots.
Voltmeter/Ammeter: Meter View Each DC power module in the Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer has a fully integrated voltmeter and ammeter to measure the actual voltage and current being sourced out of the DC output into the DUT. Because this voltmeter/ammeter function is built in, it is easy to make measurements without additional wires or the added complexity of current sense resistors or current shunts.
Oscilloscope: Scope View Each DC power module in the Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer has a fully integrated digitizer to capture the actual voltage-versus-time and current-versus-time being sourced from the DC output into the DUT. The digitized data appears on the large color display just like an oscilloscope. Because this oscilloscope function is built in, it is possible to make current measurements without current sense resistors, current shunts, or current probes.
Data Logger View The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer can also function as a data logger. Using the measurement capability built into each DC power module, the N6705 can continuously log data to the large color display and to a file. Data can be simultaneously logged on all four DC outputs. The accuracy of the voltage and current measurements depends on the type of module that is installed (basic, highperformance, precision, and SMU).
Arbitrary Waveform Generator Each DC power output on the Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer can be modulated by the module’s built-in arbitrary waveform generator. This permits the output to act as a DC bias transient generator or power arbitrary waveform generator. The maximum bandwidth is based on the type of module that is installed (basic, highperformance, precision, and SMU). Refer to the Agilent N6700 Modular Power System Family Specifications Guide* for the bandwidth of each DC power module.
Additional Features Output sequencing Series and parallel operation Each DC power module can be individually set to turn on or turn off with a delay. By adjusting the delay times and then commanding the Agilent N6705 to turn on, you can set the Agilent N6705 modules to sequence on in a particular order. The same sequencing capability is available to shut down the modules in particular order. Delay times can be set from no delay to one thousand seconds of delay in onemillisecond increments.
DC power modules offer low noise outputs Careful attention has been paid to this design to ensure low normal mode noise (ripple and peak-peak) as well as low common mode noise. While all DC power modules are switching power supplies, the N6750 high-performance autoranging DC power modules, the N6760 precision DC power modules, and the N6780 Source Measure Units are switching power supply designs that outperform most linear power supplies on the market.
Real time clock The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer has a built-in battery backed real time clock. This allows for proper time-stamping of logged data. It is also used to tag files with correct creation dates. Front panel USB The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer provides a convenient front panel USB port designed exclusively for data storage devices, such as USB memory devices or USB hard drives. On devices connected to this USB port, you can save test setups, test results, and screen images.
Triggering Control from any browser Firmware updates The Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer has hardware trigger in/trigger out signals which permit the Agilent N6705 to be synchronized with other test equipment. For example, when you turn on the outputs of the Agilent N6705, it can generate a trigger signal to start a measurement on an RF power meter. The Agilent N6705 can be controlled via a standard web browser.
Makes a great tool for ATE systems that require an advanced user interface for test and debug While the Agilent N6705 DC power analyzer is designed primarily as an R&D bench tool, customers building ATE systems may find the Agilent N6705 has great utility in an ATE system. It is fully programmable, LXI class C certified, and takes the same commands as the Agilent N6700.
