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, com-
munications, 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, multiple-output pro-
grammable 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.
