66000 Modular Power System

The Agilent 66000 modular power
system simplifies test-system
assembly, cabling, programming,
debugging and operation. It is
ideal for ATE and production test
environments, where it can supply
bias power and stimulus to sub­assemblies and final products.
The modular power system
saves rack space, the 7-inch-high
(4-EIA units) mainframe can
accommodate up to eight dc
power modules.

Key Features

• GPIB-programmable voltage
and current

• Programmable over-voltage
and over-current protection

• Self-test initiated at power-up
or from GPIB command

• Electronic calibration over
GPIB or from keyboard

• Over-temperature protection

• Discrete fault indicator/remote
inhibit (DFI/RI)

• Five nonvolatile store-recall
states per output

• User-definable power-on state

Multiple Mainframes at
One GPIB Address

The Agilent serial link feature will
allow you to control up to 16 outputs
at one GPIB address by connecting
an auxiliary mainframe. The serial
link cable comes standard with the

66000 MPS mainframe. For applica­tions with a broader range of power
requirements, one 66000 mainframe
can be connected with up to eight of
the 6640, 6650, 6670, 6680, 6690 or
6030 series of system power sup­plies. This solution provides power
ranges from 150 watts to 5000 watts
at one primary GPIB address.

Output Connections

System assembly is simplified
thanks to a quick-disconnect con­nector assembly on each module.
Once your wires are connected to
the load, the connector design per­mits the modules to be removed
from the front of the mainframe
without disconnecting cabling or
removing the mainframe from the
rack. One connector assembly is
shipped with each module.

Output Sequencing

Increase test throughput by using
the output sequencing feature
of the 66000 MPS. This powerful
feature allows you to download
up to 20 voltage, current, and
dwell-time parameter sets per out­put. This sequence can be paced by
the programmed dwell times. As an
alternative, triggers can be used to
step through the output list. The
output sequences can be executed
without controller intervention,
thereby increasing overall test
system throughput. More detailed
information on the triggering and
output sequencing capabilities can
be obtained by ordering the 66000

Supplemental Characteristics
for all model numbers

dc Floating Voltage: Output terminals can

be floated up to ±240 Vdc from chassis
ground

Remote Sensing: Up to half the rated out­put voltage can be dropped across each
load lead. Add 2 mV to the voltage load
regulation specification for each 1–V
change in the negative output lead
caused by a load current change.

Command Processing Time: The average
time for the output voltage to change
after getting an GPIB command is 20 ms

Output Programming Response Time
(with full resistive load): The rise

and fall time (10% to 90% and 90% to 10%)
of the output voltage is less than 20 ms.
The output voltage change settles within

0.1% of the final value in less than 120 ms.

of the rated output current

Your Requested Excerpt from the Agilent Power Products Catalog

The preceding page(s) are an excerpt from the 2002-2003 Power Products Catalog.
We hope that these pages supply the information that you currently need.
If you would like to have further information about the extensive selection of
Agilent dc power supplies, ac sources, and dc electronic loads, please visit

www.agilent.com/find/powerto print a copy of the complete Power Products

catalog, or to request that a copy be sent to you. You will also find a lot of other
useful information on this web site.

In the full Power Products Catalog, you will find that Agilent offers much more
than basic power generation. If you need basic, clean, power for your lab bench,
it’s there. But in each product category, we’ve also integrated the capabilities
that you need for a complete power solution, including extensive measurement
and analysis capabilities.

Please give us a call at your local Agilent Technologies sales office,
or call a regional office listed below, for assistance in choosing or using
Agilent power products.
