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).

1U of rack space

– Flexible, modular system: Lets you

mix and match power levels and

performance levels to optimize your

investment

– Performance modules for critical test

requirements

– Value modules for basic DC power

requirements

output speed to improve throughput

– Connect via GPIB, LAN, or USB

– Fully compliant to LXI Class C

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.
