The 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.
The HP 66101A DC Power Module may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Programmable DC power supply module providing precise voltage and current output control for automated test equipment applications. Features low noise output, fast transient response, and high measurement accuracy for voltage and current monitoring. Includes remote sensing capabilities to compensate for voltage drops in test leads. Supports SCPI programming commands for integration into automated test systems. Designed for rack-mount installation in mainframe chassis with digital communication interfaces. Used for powering and testing electronic devices, circuits, and components requiring stable DC power with precise control and measurement capabilities.
Platforms
Designed for integration into the Keysight 66000 series Modular Power System mainframe, this DC power module provides precision low-voltage, high-current output (0–8 V, up to 16 A, 128 W) controlled via the mainframe's digital interface for programmable power supply applications in automated test systems. It interfaces through the modular backplane, enabling synchronized operation with other power modules and system controllers, commonly applied in electronics manufacturing test and design validation environments.
Applications
A programmable DC power supply module designed for use in modular mainframe systems like the 661XX Series, delivering precise DC voltage and current for electronic device testing. It features output voltage and current regulation, programmable current limit, programmable output voltage limit, constant voltage/constant current operation, local or remote sensing, overload protection, overvoltage protection, and front panel monitoring. Often used in automated test systems, R&D laboratories, and production environments for powering and testing circuits, components, and devices requiring controlled DC power.
Accessories
Requires 66000 MPS Mainframe Modular Power System chassis for operation; connects via proprietary mainframe backplane interface. Output terminals are typically banana jacks or binding posts for 0-8 V DC output at up to 16 A. Communication and control via the mainframe’s standard interfaces (e.g., GPIB), no independent connectors on module itself.
Interfaces
DC output via four robust binding posts (V+, V-, S+, S+) for voltage output and remote sensing. Plugs into a 66000A Modular Power System mainframe via a multi-pin proprietary backplane connector for power and digital control/monitoring, leveraging the mainframe's GPIB interface.
Specifications
The DC Power Module is designed to provide programmable DC voltage and current for various electronic test applications. It operates on a modular, rack-mountable hardware platform, typically interfacing with a system controller via GPIB or LAN for remote control and data acquisition. Common applications include powering electronic circuits, component testing, and automated test equipment (ATE) systems.
