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.
The 66101A-J05 Agilent 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
Provides precision DC power supply output with low noise and high stability, designed for integration into modular power mainframes via an IEEE/IEC-compatible interface; supports programmable voltage and current settings, remote sensing, and system monitoring; interfaces with automated test equipment and control software through standardized bus connections; used in laboratories, production testing, and calibration environments requiring reliable and accurate DC power sources.
Platforms
The DC Power Module provides programmable DC voltage and current output. It operates on a standard AC mains supply. Communication interfaces include GPIB, RS-232, and LAN for remote control and data acquisition. It connects to loads via front-panel terminals, and can be integrated into automated test equipment (ATE) systems, power supplies, and benchtop test setups.
Applications
Provides precision DC power for automated test equipment and electronic device characterization in semiconductor manufacturing, R&D laboratories, and production environments. Supplies stable voltage and current to power circuits under test, device characterization setups, and component burn-in procedures. Integrates with modular mainframe systems for multi-channel power distribution in complex test configurations. Used in functional testing of integrated circuits, power management IC validation, and battery simulation applications requiring programmable voltage and current sourcing with high accuracy and low noise specifications.
Accessories
Requires mainframe 66100A or 66110A for operation. Connectors include a 2-pin banana-style output terminal for DC power delivery, IEC power input connector for AC supply, and a rear panel I/O interface with DB-15 connector for system control and metering signals. Designed with modular form factor for hot-swap insertion.
Interfaces
Requires mainframe 6610x series chassis for operation. Connects via a proprietary backplane interface within the chassis. Features a front panel interface with binding posts and a triax connector for remote sensing. The module provides DC output and sense terminals, controlled through the mainframe bus which includes a standard IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface for external control.
Specifications
Programmable DC power module designed for integration into modular automated test equipment systems. Provides stable and precise DC voltage and current sourcing capabilities within a defined output range, supporting remote control via standard instrumentation interfaces. Interfaces with system mainframe via dedicated module connectors, enabling seamless integration and synchronization with other measurement or control modules. Commonly used in electronic device characterization, reliability testing, and development environments requiring reproducible power delivery and fine output adjustments.
