Power supplies are a fundamental
component 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 Agilent N6700 Low-Profile
Modular Power System (MPS) is
a 1U (rack unit) high, multipleoutput 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 flexibility to mix and match from
20 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.

N6700 System Features
Small Size and
Flexibility for ATE
Figure 1. Connectivity: GPIB, 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, and USB 2.0 all standard
Protection Features
Each N6700 module is protected
against over-voltage, overcurrent, 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 DUT.
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, Agilent 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.
Output Sequencing
Each DC power module can be
individually set to turn on or
to turn off with a delay. By
adjusting the delay times and
then commanding the N6700 to
turn on, you can set the N6700
modules to sequence on in a
particular order. The same
sequencing capability is available to shut down the modules
in a particular order.
For applications that require
more than four DC power
modules to be sequenced, this
output sequencing can be
extended across multiple N6700
mainframes. By wiring together
the I/O ports on the rear panel
of the mainframes, a pair of
synchronization signals are sent
between mainframes, allowing
the output sequences of each
mainframe to be synchronized.
This capability is supported on
N6700B, N6701A and N6702A
mainframes. It is not supported
on N6700A mainframes.

Programmable Voltage Slew
For some applications, like
inrush limiting or powering
rate-sensitive devices, it is
necessary to slow down and
control the speed of the power
supply to maintain a specific
voltage slew rate. The N6700
provides programmable voltage
slew rate, so that you can easily
control the speed at which the
output slews from one voltage
to another. You can set the speed
of a voltage change anywhere
from its maximum up/down
programming speed to its slowest
change of up to 10 seconds.
Programmable voltage slew
is available from the front
panel when operating the
N6700 manually or via computer control.
Series Operation
To increase available voltage
and power, similarly rated
outputs can be operated
directly in series.
Easy Parallel Operation
with Virtual Channels
To increase available output
power and current, identical
outputs can be operated in
parallel. To simplify parallel
operation for applications
requiring currents greater
than any single output can
provide, the N6700 offers
virtual channels, a firmwarebased feature that allows
the N6700 system to treat
up to 4 channels as a single,
synchronized channel. Once
configured, all functions
(sourcing, measurements,
triggering, protection, and
status monitoring) behave
as if there is 1 channel of
up to 4 times the capacity
of a single channel, without
writing a single line of code
to manage the interaction
and synchronization of the
paralleled power supplies.
Virtual channel capability is
available from the front panel
when operating the N6700
manually or via computer
control.
Power Management Feature Allows
You Allocate Mainframe Power
Often, a DUT requires a single
high power DC source and
several very low power DC
sources. Since the DUT does
not require full power to all
outputs, you may choose to
save money configuring a
system where the sum of the
power modules installed in a
mainframe exceeds the total
power available from the mainframe. In this case, the new
power management features of
the N6700 allow you to allocate
mainframe power to the outputs
where it’s needed, achieving
maximum asset utilization and
flexibility. This feature provides
the safety from unexpected
and dangerous shutdowns that
can occur with power systems
without power management
when operated in a similar way.
For example, if your DUT
requires 280 W on its main
input, and 10 W each on three
auxiliary inputs, you can configure a system consisting of
one 300 W DC module and
three 100 W DC modules. Even
though the sum of the module
power is 600 W, you can still
use the N6700B 400 W MPS
mainframe. Thanks to the
power management feature,
you can allocate the full 300 W
to the 300 W module while you
allocate only 33 W to each of
the 100 W modules.
4
Plug High Power Mainframes
into Standard AC Sockets without
Dedicated High Current AC Circuits
When you first turn on the
N6702A 1200 W MPS mainframe,
the mainframe automatically
senses the power available from
the AC line. If the AC line voltage is such that the resulting
current would exceed a standard
AC outlet rating, the mainframe
automatically scales back the
available output power to prevent overloading the AC line.
The N6702A will limit the output
power to 600 W allowing the
high power mainframe to be
plugged into any standard outlet. This is ver y convenient for
initial bench checkout of the
MPS system. It is also very
convenient for test development,
which is typically done on the
bench when DUT is not yet
driven to full power. You can
also control this power reduction
by manually allocating less than
the full available mainframe
power among the modules. As
a result, the N6702A will draw
less power (and less current)
from the AC line.
Triggering
The N6700 Low-Profile MPS
mainframe has hardware trigger
in/trigger out signals which
permit the N6700 to be synchronized with external events.
For example, a switch closure
in the fixture can trigger the
N6700 to apply voltage to the
DUT or take a measurement.
Drivers
The N6700 comes with both
VXIplug&play drivers and
IVI-COM drivers. LabView
drivers are available at NI.COM.
Programming Language
The N6700 supports SCPI
(Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments).
Firmware Updates
The N6700 firmware is stored in
FLASH ROM and can be easily
updated when new features
become available. Firmware can
be downloaded into the N6700
over GPIB, LAN, or USB using
the supplied firmware update
utility program. Firmware
updates can be found at
www.agilent.com/find/N6700firmware.
Output Disconnect and
Polarity Reversal Relays
Modules in the N6700 can
be individually ordered with
optional Output Disconnect
Relays (option 761) or Output
Disconnect/Polarity Reversal
Relays (option 760). See table on
page 25 for option 760 and 761
availability. All relays are built
into the module, so no additional
wiring or rack space is needed
to get the relay function.
With option 761, Output
Disconnect Relays, mechanical
relays disconnect both the plus
and minus side of the power
supply, including the sense leads.
With option 760, Output
Disconnect/Polarity Reversal
Relays, mechanical relays
switch the leads on both the
plus and the minus side of the
power supply, including the
sense leads, resulting in a voltage polarity reversal at the
DUT. In addition to polarity
reversal, option 760 provides
the same output disconnect
function as option 761.
Note: Output current is limited
on some modules when option
760 Output Disconnect/Polarity
Reversal Relays is installed. See
the “Available options” tables
at the bottom of page 25 and
page 27 for more information
about maximum current limitations with option 760.

Front Panel
In addition to full control over
its three standard interfaces, the
N6700 has a full featured front
panel to permit easy manual
operation for test prototyping,
debugging, and troubleshooting
when used in an ATE system.
You can have confidence that
the N6700 is working properly
because you can view the
settings and actual output
values on all four outputs at
the same time.
Quieter Fans to Keep Noise Down
To reduce acoustic noise, the
N6700 mainframes employ fan
speed control. When operating
at less than full output power,
the cooling fans spin slower
and generate less noise.
Universal AC Input
The N6700 has a universal input
that operates from 100-240 Vac,
50/60/400 Hz. There are no
switches to set or fuses to
change when switching from
one voltage standard to another.
The AC input employs power
factor correction.
Quick Disconnects
Each power module has quick
disconnects for easy system
setup and maintenance.
Rack Mount Kit
The N6700 is easily rack-mounted
using available option 908.
This kit provides all the necessary hardware to rack mount
one N6700 mainframe in only
1U of rack space. This rack
mount kit includes front rack
ears and rear supports which
take the place of standard rack
rails and/or slides. Note that
standard rack rails or slides
are not needed and are not
compatible with the N6700
because of its 1U size and
airflow requirements.

N6750 Family
For applications where
the power supply plays a
critical role
The Agilent N6750 family of
high-performance, autoranging
DC power modules provides
low noise, high accuracy and
programming speeds that are
up to 10 to 50 times faster than
other programmable power
supplies. In addition, Agilent
has, for the first time, included
high-speed test extensions in
general-purpose power supplies.
The high-speed test extensions
offer an oscilloscope-like
digitizer that simplifies system
configuration and increases
measurement accuracy when
viewing high-speed transient or
pulse events within the deviceunder-test (DUT). In addition,
autoranging output capabilities
enable one power supply to do
the job of several traditional
power supplies.
N6760 Family
For applications where
precision is required
The Agilent N6760 family of
precision DC power modules
provides precise control and
measurements in the milliampere and microampere
region with the ability to
simultaneously digitize voltage
and current, and capture
those measurements in an
oscilloscope-like data buffer.
N6730/40/70 Family
For basic DC applications
The Agilent N6730, N6740 and
N6770 families of DC power
modules provide programmable
voltage and current, measurement and protection features
at a very economical price,
making these modules suitable
to power the DUT or to provide
power for ATE system resources,
such as fixture control.
7
Choosing the right DC Power Modules to meet your ATE needs
See detailed specifications on page 13
Figure 6b. User re-configurable
modular system
Figure 6a. The N6753A and the N6754A 300 W
high-performance autoranging DC power
modules each occupy 2 module slots within
the mainframe. All other modules occupy
1 module slot.
When your testing requires a
power supply to do more than
just provide a constant DC
level, the N6750 family of HighPerformance, Autoranging DC
Power Modules and the N6760
family of Precision DC Power
Modules are the perfect fit.
These modules combine a fast
output with flexible controls
and sophisticated measurements. The N6750/60 is more
than a power supply; it is a
stimulus/response instrument.
To fit in 1U, the N6750/60
use an advanced switch-mode
design that offers the low
output noise and fast output
speed typically found on
linear power supplies.
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. This switching power supply outperforms
most linear power supplies on
the market.
Output Programming Speed
When it comes to speed, the
N6750/60 achieves performance unlike a typical DC
power supply. Thanks to an
active down-programming
circuit to rapidly pull down
the output when lowering the
module’s output voltage, the
N6750/60 can rapidly program
both up and down in voltage.
Changing voltage from 0 V
to 50 V, or 50 V to 0 V, can
be accomplished in less than
1.5 milliseconds. And for smaller
voltage changes, for example
from 0 V to 5 V or 5 V to 0 V,
the programming speed is
less than 200 microseconds.
These output speeds allow the
N6750/60 to give maximum
system throughput when your
test calls for frequent changes
in power supply voltage settings.
Autoranging for Flexibility
The N6750/60 gives test system
designers even more flexibility
by providing autoranging
outputs. This autoranging
capability provides maximum
output power at any output
voltage up to 50 V. This allows
one power supply to do the
job of several power supplies
because its operating range
covers low voltage, high current as well as high voltage,
low current operating points.
For example, the N6751A
High-Performance, Autoranging
DC Module, rated at 50 V, 5 A,
and 50 W can provide full
power at 10 V @ 5 A (=50 W),
20 V @ 2.5 A (= 50 W), 33.3 V @
1.5 A (= 50 W), 50 V @ 1 A
(= 50 W) or anywhere in
between. Therefore, this 50 W
autoranging power supply,

due to its extended voltage
and current range, can produce
voltage and current combinations in the range of a 250 W
non-autoranging power supply.
The flexibility of autoranging is
useful when the DUT operates
over a wide range of voltages,
when the ATE system needs to
test a wide range of DUTs, or
when margin is needed because
the ATE power supply must
be selected before final DUT
power requirements are
determined.
See page 22 for a diagram
describing the details of the
autoranging output characteristics of the N6750 and N6760
families of DC Power Modules.
High-Speed Test Extensions
To make your testing go even
faster, the N6750/60 offer
High-Speed Test Extensions
(HSTE). This enhancement to
the N6750/60 DC Power Modules
extends the capabilities to
include features similar to
a built-in arbitrary waveform
generator and a built-in
oscilloscope. HSTE is optional
on the N6750 DC Power Modules.
HSTE is standard on the N6760
DC Power Modules.
Through the LIST mode of
HSTE, you can download up
to 512 setpoints of voltage and
current. In LIST mode, you can
program the output to execute
a LIST of voltage and current
setpoints. For each setpoint, a
dwell time can be specified and
the power supply will stay (i.e.,
dwell) at that setpoint for the
programmed dwell time value.
For each setpoint in the LIST,
you can have a different dwell
time from 0 to 262 seconds
with 1 microsecond resolution.*
Then, you can trigger the module to begin executing the list.
The module will step thru the
list, staying at each setpoint
for the programmed dwell time,
and then it will move on to the
next point. This speeds up
execution by removing the
computer I/O from the process.
The result is an output that
automatically changes according
to the programmed list, just
like an arbitrary waveform
generator.
* Note that the output response
time is less than 5 milliseconds per voltage change,
so steps of less than 5 milliseconds will not achieve
their final output voltage
value before moving on to
the next step. This is useful
when trying to create a
smooth waveform.
9
Figure 7. High Speed Test Extensions LIST mode provides “power ARB” capability
Voltage
Time in seconds
HSTE also provides an
oscilloscope-like digitizer built
into the power module to
capture voltage and current
measurements of up to
4096 points at up to 50,000
measurements per second.
For applications such as
design validation of battery
powered digital devices, the
ability to capture dynamic
information about the current
flowing into the DUT allows
designers to better understand
the current drain on DUT batteries and optimize DUT power
management during normal
DUT operation and in DUT
standby mode.
The digitizer can also be
synchronized with changes in
the output. For example, the
digitizer can make measurements in response to a trigger
generated by a change in output
voltage caused by LIST mode.
In this configuration, you can
ensure that measurements are
made at the right moment
during each step of an executing
LIST. This is particularly useful
if you are trying to measure
current consumption during
a rapidly changing voltage
stimulus, such as current drawn
during a pulsed output voltage.
Precision Low-level Performance
The N6760 family of Precision
DC Power Modules additionally
provide dual ranges on both
programming and measurement. In the low range, these
power supplies provide precision in the milliampere and
microampere regions. They are
ideally suited for semiconductor
and passive device testing, or
where a precisely controlled
output and highly accurate,
precise measurements are
needed during test.

Not all applications require high
performance power supplies.
When your budget is tight,
and when speed and accuracy
are a low consideration, the
Agilent N6700 Low-Profile
MPS supports basic DC power
modules that provide an economical solution. The N6730,
N6740 and N6770 families give
you clean, reliable DC power
without advanced features.
The Agilent N6730 family of
50 W DC Power Modules, the
N6740 family of 100 W DC Power
Modules, and the N6770 family
of 300 W DC Power Modules
provide the following:
• Fully programmable
Constant Voltage/Constant
Current DC Source
• Remote sensing for
accurate control of output
voltage when voltage drops
in the leads are present
• Built-in measurements
of voltage and current
• Protection (over-voltage
over-current, and overtemperature) against
damage to your DUT or
to the power module
• Performance (programming
accuracy, measurement
accuracy, noise) suitable
for most common DC power
applications
• Built-in optional output
disconnect and polarity
reversal relays, which break
both the power and the sense
leads, to simplify system wiring
Use the N6730/40/70 in Place of
Fixed-output DC Power Supplies
Many ATE systems have
complex fixtures that contain
indicator lights, relays or
active circuits (like sensors,
triggers, amplifiers) to facilitate
testing of the DUT. These
circuits need DC power, too.
One solution for powering
these ATE system resources
would be to purchase a fixedoutput DC source. However,
there are considerations when
integrating a fixed output
DC source into an ATE system.

If you are operating the unit below 255 µA in constant current mode, the output may become unregulated with the following load conditions:
The load resistance is <175 mΩ and the load inductance is >20 µH. If this occurs, an UNRegulated flag will be generated and the output current may rise
above the programmed value but will remain less than 255 µA.

The N6700 Modular Power
System is available 2 ways:
(1) You can order an N6700B,
N6701A or N6702A mainframe
and various modules as
separate products. (See steps
below.) Each item will arrive
in a separate box such that
you can assemble the system
yourself when you need to.
(2) You can order an N6710B,
N6711A or N6712A system,
which is a build-to-order system
that is shipped as a fully
assembled multiple-output
power supply. (See pages 26
and 27 for N6710B, N6711A
and N6712A ordering
information.)
When ordering the N6700 MPS
as a mainframe and modules,
follow these steps:
Step 1:
Select which mainframe you want
based on your power requirements.
Step 2:
Select the appropriate documentation and line cord options.
Step 3:
Order 1 to 4 modules (see next page).
If the sum of the power of the modules exceeds the available output
power rating on the mainframe, see
page 4 for an explanation of Agilent’s
power management capability. Note
that each mainframe has 4 module
slots to hold modules. Each module
occupies one module slot, except for
the N6753A and the N6754A, which
occupy 2 module slots per module.
Step 4:
For proper operation, you must fill
any empty module slots with filler
panels. When configuring a mainframe with less than 4 filled module
slots, you MUST order a Filler Panel
Kit. Each kit contains 3 filler panels.
Each filler panel fills one empty
module slot.
Step 5:
If you will be rack mounting your
N6700, you MUST order the Rack
Mount Kit.

Modules
Order 1 to 4 modules to be installed
in each N6700B, N6701A or N6702A
mainframe. (To order modules as
part of the N6710B, N6711A or
N6712A Build-to-order Systems,
see page 27). If the sum of the
power of the modules exceeds the
available output power rating on
the mainframe, see page 4 for an
explanation of Agilent’s power
management capability.
You can individually specify each
option for each module. For example, you can order one module with
Option 761 Output Disconnect
Relays while the remaining modules
have no relay option.
As your needs change and you want
to change configuration or add more
modules to existing N6700A, N6700B,
