- Flexible, Modular System
- Performance Modules for Critical Test Requirements
The Keysight N6700 Series Low-Profile MPS Mainframes 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 Keysight 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.
The N6700B Keysight Low-Profile Modular Power System (MPS) Mainframe may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Acts as a precision, modular, multi-output DC power supply chassis, providing an integrated platform for up to four user-installable DC power modules. It facilitates consolidated remote programming via LAN, USB, or GPIB, offers built-in voltage and current measurement capabilities, and supplies a common system interface for various power and measurement functions, including sequencing, logging, and protection, all within a compact 1U form factor.
Platforms
The N6700B is designed as a modular, rack-mountable power supply mainframe. It houses up to four DC power modules, supporting various voltage and current combinations. Communication interfaces include GPIB, LAN (LXI compliant), and USB for remote control and data retrieval. The mainframe integrates with external test equipment and PCs via these interfaces, facilitating automated test environments.
Applications
The N6700B serves as a modular power system mainframe for automated test environments, R&D laboratories, and manufacturing test systems. It accommodates up to four hot-swappable DC power modules, enabling multi-channel power supply configurations for testing electronic devices, circuits, and subsystems. Common applications include semiconductor device characterization, battery simulation and testing, automotive electronics validation, aerospace/defense equipment testing, and LED/display driver testing. The system is frequently deployed in functional test, burn-in, and environmental stress screening applications where multiple isolated power channels with precise voltage/current control and measurement capabilities are required. Its low-profile 1U form factor makes it ideal for high-density ATE systems and space-constrained test racks.
Accessories
Requires 1 to 4 N6700 series DC power modules. Optional accessories include the N6709A Rack Mount Kit and N6708A Filler Panel. Rear panel interfaces: GPIB (24-pin IEEE-488 female), LAN/LXI (8P8C RJ-45 female), USB 2.0 (Type B female), RS-232 (9-pin D-sub DE-9 male), Digital I/O (8-pin mini-DIN female), and Mainframe Interconnect Link (dual 8P8C RJ-45). AC power input is a 3-pin IEC 320-C14 connector. The front panel contains four proprietary backplane slots for accepting power modules.
Interfaces
Four modular power supply slots accepting N6700 series modules via internal backplane connections. Front panel USB 2.0 Type-B connector for SCPI communication. Rear panel 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 jack for LAN control. RS-232 DB-9 serial port for legacy communication. Digital I/O 15-pin D-sub connector providing 8 digital inputs/outputs with TTL/CMOS compatibility. External trigger BNC input and output connectors. GPIB IEEE-488 24-pin connector for instrument bus communication. IVI and SCPI programming interfaces supported over all communication paths.
Specifications
A 1U high, 400 W modular power system mainframe with four slots supporting 1 to 4 interchangeable DC power modules from the N6700 series, enabling flexible configurations of basic to high precision power supplies up to 300 W per module and up to 150 V/50 A output. It features GPIB, USB, and LAN interfaces with LXI Class C compliance, a bright LCD for status and settings, and supports simultaneous voltage/current measurements, arbitrary waveform generation, and fast output control suitable for precise, stable power delivery in test and measurement applications.
