Specifications

Power supplies are a fundamental
component of every test system
in industries including aero-
space and defense, consumer
electronics, computers and
peripherals, communications,
semiconductor and automotive
electronics. Today’s complex
automatic test equipment
(ATE) systems often require
multiple power sources. Test
system designers are challenged
to keep costs down by reducing
rack space occupied by these
multiple power supplies and to
continually increase test system
throughput.
The Agilent N6700 Low-Profile
Modular Power System (MPS) is
a 1U (rack unit) high, multiple-
output programmable DC power
supply system that enables test
system integrators to optimize
performance, power and price
to match test needs.
The Agilent N6700 MPS gives
test system designers the flexi-
bility to mix and match from
16 different DC power modules
to create a 1- to 4-channel
DC power system optimized to
meet specific test requirements.
Test system engineers can invest
in high-performance outputs
where speed and accuracy
are needed, or purchase basic
performance outputs for simple
DC power requirements.
Small Size
The Agilent N6700 MPS uses
an advanced switching power
supply design that fits within
1U of rack space. It has side
air vents (no top or bottom air
vents) so other instruments
can be mounted directly above
or below it. (Requires rack
mount kit; see Ordering
Information.)
Built-in Measurement
of Voltage and Current
The N6700 modules come
standard with built-in
measurement of voltage and
current to simplify wiring
and design of an ATE system.
