Small Size and
Flexibility for ATE
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.
N6700 System Features
Figure 1. Connectivity: GPIB, 10/100 Base-T ethernet, and USB 2.0 all standard
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 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.
Small size
The Agilent 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.

Module 3
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).
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.
Figure 2. Output sequencing
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. When the I/O
ports on the rear panel of the mainframes are wired together, a pair of
synchronization signals can be sent
between mainframes, allowing the
output sequences of all mainframes
to be synchronized. This capability
is supported on N6700B, N6701A
and N6702A mainframes. It is not
supported on the discontinued
N6700A mainframe.
3
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
features of the N6700 allow you to
allocate mainframe power to the
outputs where it is needed, achieving
maximum asset utilization and flexibility. This feature provides 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.
Note that if you install one of the new
500 W modules in an N6700B 400 W
MPS mainframe, you may not be able
to run this module at its full rated
output 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 power management
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 very
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 also
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. Agilent recommends that you
keep your N6700 system up to date
with the latest firmware available 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 the table
on page 16 for option 760 and 761
availability. All relays are built into
the module, so no additional wiring or
rack space is needed to incorporate
the relay function.
Although the plus and minus rail of
the output power mesh are physically disconnected from the output
terminals with options 760 and 761,
a small AC network is still connected
across the plus and minus output
terminals, This AC network is
required for EMI compliance.
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” table on page 16 for more
information about maximum current
limitations with option 760.

Figure 4. Rear panel (Picture shows 3 channels installed.)
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 the N6709A rack mount kit.
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 compatible
with the N6700 because of its 1U size
and airflow requirements.

Choosing the right DC Power Modules to meet your ATE needs
N6750 high-performance series
For applications where the power
supply plays a critical role – Now
with available power up to 500 W
The Agilent N6750 Series of highperformance, 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
DUT. In addition, autoranging output
capabilities enable one power supply
to do the job of several traditional
power supplies.
N6760 precision series
For applications where precision is
required – Now with available power
up to 500 W
The Agilent N6760 Series 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 basic series
For basic DC applications – Now with
voltages up to 150 V
The Agilent N6730, N6740 and N6770
Series 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.

50 W Curve
When your testing requires a power
supply to do more than just provide a
constant DC level, the N6750 Series
of high-performance, autoranging
DC power modules and the N6760
Series 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.
Fast voltage changes
When it comes to speed, the N6750
high-performance autoranging DC
power modules, the N6760 precision
DC power modules, and the N6780
source measure units achieve performance unlike a typical DC power
supply. Thanks to an active downprogramming circuit to rapidly pull
down the output when lowering the
module’s output voltage, these power
modules can rapidly program both
up and down in voltage. Changing
voltage from 0 V to 50 V, or 50 V to 0 V
for example, can be accomplished in
less than 1.5 milliseconds.
Note that for smaller voltage changes,
from 0 V to 5 V or 5 V to 0 V for example, the programming speed is less
than 200 microseconds. These output
speeds allow the N6750/60/80 to
give maximum system throughput
when your test calls for frequent
changes in power supply voltage
settings.
Autoranging for fl exibility
The N6750 high-performance autoranging DC power modules and the
N6760 precision DC power modules
give you even more flexibility by
providing autoranging outputs. This
autoranging capability provides
maximum output power at any output
voltage up to 60 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 N6755A highperformance autoranging DC module,
rated at 20 V, 50 A, and 500 W can
provide full power at
10 V @ 50 A (= 500 W),
20 V @ 25 A (= 500 W),
15 V @ 33 A (= 500 W),
or anywhere in between.
Figure 7. Autoranging characteristic

Therefore, this 500 W autoranging
Voltage
Time in seconds
power supply, due to its extended
voltage and current range, can
produce voltage and current combinations in the range of a 1000 W nonautoranging 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.
High-speed test extensions
To make your testing go even faster,
the N6700 DC power modules offer
High-Speed Test Extensions
(HSTE). This enhancement to the 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 N6730/40/50/70 DC
power modules. HSTE is standard
on the N6760 precision DC power
modules, the N6780 SMU modules,
and the N6783 application-specific
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.
Figure 8. High speed test extensions LIST mode provides
“power ARB” capability
9
HSTE also provides an oscilloscopelike digitizer built into the power
module to capture voltage and current measurements of up to 524,288
points at up to 97,656 samples per
second. Note that the N6780 SMUs
measure at 195,312 samples 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 Series 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.
Source/measure unit modules
for the most demanding
applications
The N6780 Series of Source/Measure
Units offer the highest level of
performance in the N6700 Series.
These SMUs feature highly accurate
measurements down to nanoamperes
while providing operation as a DC
voltage source, DC current source,
and electronic load. For details on
these products and how they can be

drain analysis and functional test, visit

Ordering Information
The DC power analyzer system
is available two 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
so that you can assemble the
system yourself.
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 18 and 19 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. Each
module occupies one module slot,
except for the N6753A–N6756A and
N6763A–N6766A which occupy two
module slots.
Step 4
For proper operation, you must fill any
empty module slots with filler panels.
When configuring a mainframe with
less than four filled module slots, you
MUST order a filler panel kit. Each kit
contains three 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
18). 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 options.
As your needs change and you want
to change configuration or add more
modules to existing N6700A, N6700B,
N6701A or N6702A mainframes, use
this ordering information to order the
required modules.
