N6708A AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, N6708A Datasheet - Page 12

• Manufacturer Part Number: N6708A
• Description: Filler Panel Kit
• Manufacturer: AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES

Specifications of N6708A

• Required When Using Less Than 4 Modules: Accessory Type
• For Use With: Agilent Type 6700B Series DC Module Power Supplies
• Lead Free Status / RoHS Status: na

The table to the right illustrates these
points and how it may be easier,
faster, and more economical to
purchase an N6730/40/70 program-
mable DC power module in place of
a fixed-output DC power supply.
All the benefits of the
N6700 MPS at a low price
While the N6730/40/70 are
economical solutions to basic DC
power requirements, they are also
part of the N6700 MPS. Therefore,
while saving, you still have the
benefits of:
• Small size (true 1U)
• Mix-and-match with other N6700
• Connectivity via LAN, USB,
• Fast command processing time
• Remote control over internet via
• Friendly front panel
• Optional output disconnect and
DC power modules when you need

Consideration when using a
fixed-output DC power supply
You may want some limited control
over this DC source (on/off).
You may want to be able to monitor
the voltage or current to ensure proper
operation, which would require wiring
to a system DMM.
You will need to mount the power
supply in the ATE system. Finding a
safe location can be a challenge. Some
system designers will build a “drawer”
or “tray” for holding power supplies.
However, this adds extra design time,
fabrication costs, installation costs,
and occupies rack space.
You may want to provide a safety
interlock to this DC source. This
would require control (on/off) and a
means to detect the interlock condition.

Solution using N6730/40/70
DC power modules in N6700 MPS
The N6730/40/70 is fully controllable
over LAN, USB, GPIB
The N6730/40/70 has built-in
measurements of voltage and current,
eliminating the need for wiring to a
system DMM.
The N6730/40/70 are compact modules
integrated into a 1U rack mountable
mainframe. There is no need to design
or build any custom mounting hardware.
The N6730/40/70 have hardware inputs
for remote on/off that can be directly
connected to a safety interlock system.
