Small Size and
Flexibility for ATE
Small size
The Keysight N6700 MPS uses an advanced
switching power supply design that fits
within 1U of rack space (1.75 in./44 mm).
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.
Protection features
Each N6700 module is protected against
over-voltage, over-current, and over-
temperature. A fault condition in one
module can be detected within 10
microseconds by other modules so that
they can be quickly shut down to avoid
hazardous conditions on your device
under test (DUT).

specification
Power supplies are a fundamental com-
ponent of every test system in industries
including aerospace 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 Keysight Technologies, Inc. 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 Keysight N6700 MPS gives test
system designers the flexibility to mix and
match from over 30 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.
Connectivity
The N6700 MPS comes standard with GPIB,
USB 2.0, and 10/100 Base-T ethernet LAN
interfaces. While GPIB is best suited for use
with existing systems, Keysight offers USB
and LAN to allow you to take advantage
of the availability, speed, and ease-of-use
of common computer industry standard
interfaces. The N6700 is fully compliant
with the LXI Class C specification.
Security
When used in systems running GPIB,
the LAN and/or USB interfaces can be
disabled for extra security. Also, all
non-volatile RAM data and settings can
be cleared from the front panel.
Control from any browser
The N6700 can be controlled via a standard
web browser. The N6700 contains a web
server that provides web pages for monitor,
control, and setup of the MPS.
