R&D Engineers are Under Time Pressure
• Ideal for R&D testing and design validation
• Sources and measures DC voltage and current into your device under test
• Combines one to four DC power supplies or Electronic loads, DMM, oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform
generator, and data logger in one integrated instrument
• Saves time – no programming required
• Eliminates the need to gather and configure multiple instruments
• Flexible, modular system: Lets you mix and match DC source power levels and measurement
performance levels to optimize your investment
• Connect via GPIB, LAN, or USB
• Fully compliant to LXI Class C specification
• Electronic load module for power supply testing

Due to increasing time-to-market pressures, research and development engineers often find themselves on
tight schedules to work through device under test (DUT) testing. Along with being driven faster, the R&D
engineers can face a high regret factor should their haste result in damaging scarce, complex’ or expensive
DUTs during product development. This is a particular concern when tests involve applying DC power or
electronic load to a DUT. Furthermore, test complexity increases when testing devices that require multiple
input voltages, such as printed circuit boards.

Today, when performing DC power-related tests, R&D engineers must gather and configure multiple
instruments to complete DC sourcing or loading and measurement tasks. When executing these complex
tasks, which can involve simultaneously connecting to and physically interacting with multiple test
instruments, the risk of error increases. In response, R&D engineers may choose to automate tests that are
too complex to do manually. Unfortunately, while automating tasks reduces human error, writing and
debugging programs adds more work to already overloaded R&D engineers.

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N6705 DC Power Analyzer represents an entirely new instrument
category for R&D engineers. It provides unrivaled productivity gains when sourcing or loading and
measuring DC voltage and current into a DUT. Using the Keysight N6705 DC Power Analyzer, R&D
engineers can gain insights into the DUT’s power consumption in minutes without writing a single line of
code. It provides an easy-to-use interface, with all sourcing or loading and measuring functions available
from the front panel.

Modular System Based on DC Power Supply or Electronic Load Outputs
The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer is a modular system that can be tailored to meet specific test
needs. At the heart of the DC power analyzer is the DC power or load module. The Keysight N6705 DC
power analyzer is a mainframe that has four slots to accept one to four DC power or load modules. Each
DC power or load module takes one slot, except for the N6750 high-performance autoranging and N6760
precision power modules that are ≥ 300 W, and N6792A which occupy two slots. This modular design
gives you the flexibility to mix and match over thirty different modules to create a solution optimized to meet
specific test requirements.

R&D engineers can invest in high-performance outputs where speed and accuracy are needed, or
purchase basic performance outputs for simple DC power requirements. In the future, as your test needs
change, you can purchase different modules and swap them into the DC power analyzer, thus creating a
solution that protects your investment and grows with you.

Each DC power module and electronic load module output is fully isolated and floating from ground and
from each other.

Voltmeter/Ammeter: Meter View

Each DC power or load module in the Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer has a fully integrated voltmeter
and ammeter to measure the actual voltage and current being sourced out of the DC output into the DUT.
Because this voltmeter/ammeter function is built in, it is easy to make measurements without additional wires
or the added complexity of current sense resistors or current shunts. The accuracy of the voltage and current
measurements are based on the type of module that is installed (load, basic, high-performance, precision, or
SMU). You can find the accuracy specification in the tables starting on page 24 under “Voltage Measurement
Accuracy” and “Current Measurement Accuracy.” *

Figure 2. In Meter View, all 4 outputs can be viewed Figure 3. In Meter View, you can also view an enlarged

Oscilloscope: Scope View
Each DC power or load module in the Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer has a fully integrated digitizer to
capture the actual voltage-versus-time and current-versus-time being sourced from the DC output into the
DUT. The digitized data appears on the large color display just like an oscilloscope. Because this
oscilloscope function is built in, it is possible to make current measurements without current sense
resistors, current shunts, or current probes. This greatly reduces measurement setup complexity and
provides for accurate and fully specified, calibrated measurements. The accuracy of the measurements in
oscilloscope mode is based on the type of power module installed (load, basic, high-performance
autoranging, precision, and SMU). You can find this information in the Keysight N6700 Modular Power
System Family Specifications Guide under “Oscilloscope Measurement Accuracy.” *

The N6790A, N6760 and N6780 SMU series of power modules offer simultaneous digitizing of output
voltage and output current, such that you can view a voltage trace and a current trace at the same time on
the oscilloscope display. For all other module types, you can select to view either a voltage trace or a
current trace on the oscilloscope display.

Figure 4. In scope view, voltage and current traces are displayed. In this picture, the DC current flowing into the
DUT is clearly visible as a time-varying waveform

The table below shows the relationship between the number of scope traces, the sample rate, and the
buffer size available for each trace. As shown, the digitizer can run at up to 200 kHz with up to 256 k
samples per trace (512 k samples with SCPI commands). With an effective measurement bandwidth of up
to 30 kHz, this oscilloscope function is perfectly matched to capture time varying events on the DC output,
such as peak current demand, dropouts, rise times and other DC transients and disturbances.

The measurement buffer size can be set to between 1 k and 256 k points. Whatever buffer size is selected,
its available points must be divided by the total number of traces being measured.

Note that the measurement window is determined by multiplying the selected buffer size by the sample
rate. For a measurement window of 60 seconds for example, with a buffer size set to 256 k points, the
fastest sample rate available to you will be 234 microseconds. If the buffer size is set to 64 k points, the
fastest available sample rate will be 937 microseconds.

Number of traces Maximum buffer size

Module type Fastest sample rate
(1 trace = V or I) available per trace

One N6780 SMU or N6790A 1 trace 5.12 µs (~ 200 kHz) 256 k points
Any power module 1 or 2 traces 10.24 µs (~ 100 kHz) 128 k points
Any power module 3 or 4 traces 20.48 µs (~ 50 kHz) 64 k points

The oscilloscope can be triggered on either voltage or current levels. Because the Keysight N6705 DC
power analyzer is an integrated instrument, the oscilloscope can also be easily configured to trigger on the
start of an arbitrary waveform or to trigger when the DC power output is enabled. For example, to make an
inrush current measurement on your DUT, you can set the oscilloscope to trigger on the DC output’s on/off
key, set the trigger mode to single shot, and then turn on the DC output. This will immediately capture the
current flowing out of the DC module into the DUT and give a picture of the inrush current of the DUT. This
integrated functionality is not available when using a collection of separate test instruments on the test
bench and is an example of how the DC power analyzer reduces setup time and complexity.

Data Logger View

The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer can also function as a data logger. Using the measurement
capability built into each DC power or load module, the N6705 can continuously log data to the large color
display and to a file. Data can be simultaneously logged on all four DC outputs. The accuracy of the
voltage and current measurements depends on the type of module that is installed (load, basic, high-
performance, precision, and SMU).

As illustrated in the table below, there are two modes of operation:

• In standard mode, measurements are spaced by the sample period, which is programmable from
75 milliseconds to 60 seconds. For each DC output, voltage measurements, current measurements,
or both can be logged. Each reading is an integrated voltage or current measurement. Standard
mode data logging is available on all DC power or load module types.
• In continuous sampling mode, the built-in digitizer of the DC power module runs continuously at
50,000 readings per second. You can specify a sample period, which is the period of time during
which these continuous readings will be accumulated. For each sample period, one average reading
(and optionally, a minimum and maximum value) is saved. In this mode, the digitizer runs
continuously as the readings are averaged and stored; therefore, the digitizer is always making
measurements and no data is missed. The sample period is programmable from 20 microseconds to
60 seconds. In this mode, the N6790A, N6760 and N6780 SMU series of modules offer simultaneous
logging of output voltage and output current. For all other module types, you can log either voltage or
current when in continuous sampling mode.

data analysis software packages.

are used throughout the DC power analyzer.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Each DC power output or load on the Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer can be modulated by the
module’s built-in arbitrary waveform generator. This permits the output to act as a DC bias transient
generator or power arbitrary waveform generator. The maximum bandwidth is based on the type of module
that is installed (basic, high-performance, precision, SMU and loads). Refer to the Keysight N6700
Modular Power System Family Specifications Guide* for the bandwidth of each DC power or load module.

The Keysight N6705 uses run length encoding, where each point in the waveform is defined by the voltage
setting and the dwell time or duration to stay at that setting. Waveforms can be generated by specifying
only a small number of points. For example, a pulse would only take three points to define it.

The Keysight N6705 offers the following waveform choices (see table below).

Arbitrary waveform Number of points per waveform

] 100 points
Step 2 points
Ramp 100 points
Pulse 3 points
Stepped ramp (or staircase) Determined by the number of steps programmed

For each waveform, you can set it to repeat continuously or you can specify the number of times the
waveform is repeated. For example, to generate a pulse train of 10 identical pulses, you can program the
parameters for one pulse and then specify that you want it to repeat 10 times.

For user-defined voltage and current waveforms, you can download up to 512 setpoints of voltage or
current. With loads, waveforms can be generated in voltage, current, resistance, and power. For each
setpoint, a dwell time is specified and output will stay (i.e., dwell) at that setpoint for the programmed dwell
time value. For each of the 512 setpoints in the user-defined waveform, you can have a different dwell time
from 0 to 262 seconds with 1 microsecond resolution. The module will step through the user-defined table
of values, staying at each setpoint for the programmed dwell time, and then it will move on to the next
point. User-defined waveforms can be imported from a CSV file or directly entered from the front panel of
the DC power analyzer.

Constant-dwell voltage or current waveforms can also be generated, with up to 64000 programmable
points. With loads, voltage, current, resistance, and power is available.

Additional Features
Output sequencing
Each DC power or load module can be individually set to turn on or turn off with a delay. By adjusting the
delay times and then commanding the Keysight N6705 to turn on, you can set the Keysight N6705
modules to sequence on in a particular order. The same sequencing capability is available to shut down
the modules in particular order. Delay times can be set from no delay to one thousand seconds of delay in
one-millisecond increments.

Figure 9. The Output On/Off Delays screen allows you to enter the delay times for each output. A graphical
representation of the settings is shown to visually confirm your choices.

For applications that require more than four DC power or load modules to be sequenced, this output
sequencing can be extended across multiple Keysight N6705 mainframes. By wiring the I/O ports on the
rear panel of the mainframes together, a pair of synchronization signals is sent between mainframes,
allowing the output sequences of each mainframe to be synchronized.

This capability is also supported to link Keysight N6705 output sequences with outputs installed in N6700C,
N6701C and N6702C Low-Profile Modular Power System mainframes.

Programmable voltage slew

For some applications, like inrush limiting or powering rate-sensitive devices, it is necessary to slow down
and control the speed of the DC output to maintain a specific voltage slew rate. The Keysight N6705
provides programmable voltage slew rate, so that you can easily control the speed at which the output
slews from one voltage to another. You can set the speed of a voltage change anywhere from its maximum
up/down programming speed to its slowest change of up to 10 seconds.

Series and parallel operation
To increase available voltage and power per output, identically rated outputs can be operated directly in
series. The maximum series operation is 240 V. To increase the available current and power per output,
identically rated outputs can be operated directly in parallel. The maximum rated parallel operation is
100 A per Keysight N6705.

Convenient front panel connections

The N6705 uses 3-way binding posts on the front panel for connection to the DUT. The binding posts
accept standard banana plugs, bare wire, and spade-lug connectors. The binding posts are rated for 20 A
per post. To avoid setup and connection errors, the binding posts are color-coded to the control keys and
the display. For modules with outputs rated at greater than 20 A, such as the N6753A or N6792A, high
current wires must be brought out through the N6705’s rear panel.

The N6705C mainframe provides rear panel access ports to route these wires.

4-wire sensing for improved measurement accuracy

To improve the voltage measurement accuracy and regulation of the DC outputs, the Keysight N6705 DC
power analyzer offers 4-wire sensing capability, also called remote sensing, on each of the four outputs of
the DC power analyzer. 4-wire remote sensing is useful when the DUT draws high current and you want
to account for voltage drop in the power leads to achieve tight regulation and high voltage measurement
accuracy.

To use 4-wire sensing in addition to your power leads, you must connect two low current sensing leads
between the DUT input terminals and 4-wire sense terminal binding posts located on the front of the
N6705 mainframe. This permits the output module to monitor and regulate its output voltage directly at
the DUT input terminals instead of the N6705 front panel output binding posts. It then automatically
adjusts its output voltage to compensate for voltage drops across the resistance in the power leads.

For convenience, switching between 2-wire mode (local sensing) and 4-wire mode (remote sensing) is
done via an internal relay inside the N6705 DC power analyzer, eliminating the need for shorting bars or
jumpers commonly found on other bench power sources.

DC power modules offer low noise outputs

Careful attention has been paid to this design to ensure low normal mode noise (ripple and peak-peak) as
well as low common mode noise. While all DC power modules are switching power supplies, the N6750
high-performance autoranging DC power modules, the N6760 precision DC power modules, and the
N6780 Source Measure Units are switching power supply designs that outperform most linear power
supplies on the market.

g
DC power modules provide fast voltage changes
When it comes to speed, the N6750 high-performance autoranging DC power modules, the N6760
precision DC power modules, and the N6780 Source Measure Units achieve performance unlike a
typical DC power supply. Thanks to an active down-programming circuit to rapidly pull down the output
when lowering the output voltage, these power modules can rapidly program both up and down in
voltage. Changing voltage from 0 V to 50 V, or 50 V to 0 V for example, can be accomplished in less than
1.5 milliseconds.

Note that for smaller voltage changes, from 0 V to 5 V or 5 V to 0 V for example, the programming speed
is less than 200 microseconds. These output speeds allow the N6750/60/80 to give maximum system
through-put when your test calls for frequent changes in power supply voltage settings.

Autoranging for flexibility

The N6750 high-performance auto-ranging DC power modules and the N6760 precision DC power
modules give you even more flexibility by providing autoranging outputs. This autoranging capability
provides maximum output power at any output voltage up to 60 V. This allows one power supply to do the
job of several power supplies, because its operating range covers low voltage, high current as well as
high voltage, low current operating points. For example, the N6755A high-performance, autoranging DC
module, rated at 20 V, 50 A, and 500 W can provide full power at:

10 V @ 50 A (= 500 W),
20 V @ 25 A (= 500 W),
15 V @ 33 A (= 500 W),
or anywhere in between.

Therefore, this 500 W autoranging power supply, due to its extended voltage and current range, can
produce voltage and current combinations in the range of a 1000 W non-autoranging power supply.

Real time clock

The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer has a built-in battery backed real time clock. This allows for
proper time-stamping of logged data. It is also used to tag files with correct creation dates.

Front panel USB

The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer provides a convenient front panel USB port designed exclusively
for data storage devices, such as USB memory devices or USB hard drives. On devices connected to this
USB port, you can save test setups, test results, and screen images. It is also an easy way to move test
setup files between two N6705 DC power analyzers or test results between the DC power analyzer and a
PC. You can also log data directly to the USB device plugged into the front panel. This extends the total
storage capability of the N6705.

Internal memory
The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer has 4 gigabytes of non-volatile storage. This storage is shared
between the four DC outputs. It can be used for saving test setups, test results, and screen images.
External USB storage is supported for increased storage capacity to log data longer.

Emergency stop
Should a hazardous situation occur during testing, you can press the large red emergency stop button on
the front panel of the Keysight N6705. Pressing this easy-to-find button immediately removes power from
the DC outputs. However, any data collection (such as a scope trace or data log) that is running at the
time will continue to run. By doing so, the data you were collecting is saved and you will get a record of
what was happening at the time of the event that caused you to press the emergency stop button. The
measurements could aid in failure analysis, repair, or debugging of the DUT.

DUT protection features
Each Keysight N6705 DC power module is protected against over-voltage, over-current, and over-
temperature. A fault condition in one module can be detected within 10 microseconds by other modules
so that they can be quickly shut down to avoid hazardous conditions on your DUT.

Output disconnect and polarity reversal relays

Power modules in the Keysight N6705 can be individually ordered with optional Output Disconnect
Relays (option 761) or Output Disconnect/Polarity Reversal Relays (option 760). See table on page 27 for
option 760 and 761 availability. All relays are built into the module, so no additional wiring is needed to
incorporate the relay function.

Although the plus and minus rail of the output power mesh are physically disconnected from the output
terminals with options 760 and 761, a small AC network is still connected across the plus and minus
output terminals. This AC network is required for EMI compliance.

With option 761, Output Disconnect Relays, an emergency condition or turning the DC output off causes
mechanical relays disconnect both the plus and minus side of the power supply, including the sense leads.

With option 760, Output Disconnect/Polarity Reversal Relays, mechanical relays switch the leads on both
the plus and the minus side of the power supply, including the sense leads, resulting in a voltage polarity
reversal at the DUT. In addition to polarity reversal, option 760 provides the same output disconnect
function as option 761.

Note: Output current is limited on some modules when option 760 Output Disconnect/Polarity Reversal
Relays is installed. See the “Available options” tables on page 27 for more information about maximum
current limitations with option 760.

Triggering
The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer has hardware trigger in/trigger out signals which permit the
Keysight N6705 to be synchronized with other test equipment. For example, when you turn on the outputs
of the Keysight N6705, it can generate a trigger signal to start a measurement on an RF power meter.

Connectivity
The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer comes standard with GPIB, USB 2.0, and 10/100 base-T
ethernet LAN interfaces. The Keysight N6705 is fully compliant with the LXI class C specification.

Security
All non-volatile RAM data and settings can be cleared from the front panel. For customers who have
security concerns about USB access to internally stored test data and setups, the Keysight N6705 also
offers option AKY, which removes the USB ports from the front and rear of the Keysight N6705. When
used in systems running GPIB, the LAN and/or USB interfaces can be disabled for extra security.

front panel. The Web GUI operation is identical to operating the real front panel on the Keysight N6705
DC power analyzer.

Drivers
For customers who wish to operate the DC power analyzer under computer control, the Keysight N6705
comes with both VXIplug&play drivers and IVI-COM drivers. LabView drivers are available at NI.COM.

Programming language
The Keysight N6705 supports SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). Note that the
Keysight N6705’s command set is compatible with the N6700 modular power system for ATE, so
programs written for the Keysight N6700 will work on the Keysight N6705.

Firmware updates
The Keysight N6705 firmware is stored in FLASH ROM and can be easily updated when new features
become available. Firmware can be downloaded into the Keysight N6705 over GPIB, LAN, or USB using
the supplied firmware update utility program. Firmware updates can be found at
www.keysight.com/find/N6705firmware.

Makes a great tool for ATE systems that require an advanced user interface for test and debug

While the Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer is designed primarily as an R&D bench tool, customers
building ATE systems may find the Keysight N6705 has great utility in an ATE system. It is fully
programmable, LXI class C certified, and takes the same commands as the Keysight N6700. But
thanks to its large display and easy to use controls, test engineers may find the Keysight N6705
makes a great tool for visualizing test results as the tests execute, for DUT troubleshooting, for DUT
debugging, and for ATE test development, The Keysight N6705 mounts in a standard 19” rack using
standard rack mount hardware for 4 U instruments.

Achieve correlation and share data between R&D and manufacturing

The Keysight N6705 DC power analyzer is a modular system that uses the same DC power modules
as the N6700 low-profile modular power system for ATE. Customers who use the N6705 in R&D and
the N6700 in manufacturing can easily achieve test correlation between R&D testing, design
characterization/validation testing, and manufacturing testing because the DC power or load modules
are common to both the bench and ATE versions of the product. Test programs can be easily shared
between R&D and manufacturing since the Keysight N6705 and the Keysight N6700 share a common
command set.

Power management feature allows you to allocate N6705 mainframe power

Often, a DUT requires some high power DC sources and several very low power DC sources. In this
case, you may choose to configure a system where the sum of the power modules installed in the
Keysight N6705 exceeds the total power available from the Keysight N6705 mainframe. The power
management features of the Keysight N6705 allow you to allocate mainframe power to the outputs where
it’s needed, achieving maximum asset utilization and flexibility. This feature provides safety from
unexpected and dangerous shutdowns that can occur with power systems without power management
when operated in a similar way. For example, if your DUT requires 250 W on two of its inputs, but only
10 W each on two auxiliary inputs, you can configure a system consisting of two 300 W DC modules and
two 50 W DC modules. Although the sum of the module power is greater than 600 W, you can still use
the Keysight N6705. Thanks to the power management feature, you can allocate the 250 W each to the
two 300 W modules while you allocate only 25 W to each of the 50 W modules.

Universal AC input
The Keysight N6705 has a universal input that operates from 100-240 VAC, 50/60/400 Hz. There are no
switches to set or fuses to change when switching from one voltage standard to another. The AC input
employs power factor correction.

Choosing the Right DC Power or Electronic Load System to Meet Your ATE Needs
N6790 Electronic Load Series
The new Keysight N6790 Series Modular Electronic Loads offer a 100W module and a 200W module
each in a 1U footprint. Four different user operation modes are available: constant voltage, constant
current, constant resistance, and constant power. With a high, accurate measurement system and
digitizing capabilities, users can easily gain insight into their power supply test. Also, the new series offers
a powerful, built-in arbitrary waveform generator which allows users to emulate complex dynamic load
waveforms. This is a must have for any serious power system designer and test engineer.

Fig 14a. The Electronic Load Series

N6750 High-Performance Series

For applications where the power supply plays a critical role – Now with available power up to 500 W
The Keysight N6750 Series of high-performance, autoranging DC power modules provides low noise,
high accuracy and programming speeds that are up to 10 to 50 times faster than other programmable
power supplies. In addition, Keysight has, for the first time, included high-speed test extensions in
general-purpose power supplies. The high-speed test extensions offer an oscilloscope-like digitizer that
simplifies system configuration and increases measurement accuracy when viewing high-speed transient
or pulse events within the DUT. In addition, autoranging output capabilities enable one power supply to
do the job of several traditional power supplies.

Ordering Information
The DC power analyzer system is available 2 ways
1. You can order an N6705C mainframe and various modules as separate products. (See steps below.)
Each item will arrive in a separate box so that you can assemble the system yourself.

2. You can order an N6715C system, which is a build-to-order DC power analyzer system that is
shipped as a fully assembled multiple-output power supply or loads. See pages 30 - 33 for N6715C
ordering information.

When ordering the DC power analyzer as a mainframe and modules, follow these steps.

Step 1
Select the appropriate documentation and line cord options.

Step 2
Order 1 to 4 modules (see next page). If the sum of the power of the modules exceeds the available
output power rating on the mainframe, see page 18 for an explanation of Keysight’s power management
capability. Note that each mainframe has 4 module slots to hold modules. Each module occupies
one module slot, except for the N6753A-N6756A, N6763A-N6766A, N6785A-N6786A and N6792A which
occupy two module slots.

Modules
Order 1 to 4 modules to be installed in each N6705C power analyzer mainframe. (To order modules as
part of the N6715C, build-to-order systems, see page 30). If the sum of the power of the modules
exceeds the available output power rating on the mainframe, see page 18 for an explanation of Keysight’s
power management capability.

You can individually specify each option for each module. For example, you can order one module with
Option 761 Output Disconnect Relays while the remaining modules have no relay options.

As your needs change and you want to change configuration or add more modules to existing N6705
mainframe, use this ordering information to order the required modules.

N6715C build-to-order system

To purchase a DC power analyzer, order an N6715C. This model number is a build-to-order system that is
shipped as a fully tested and assembled instrument. Each system consists of one mainframe plus
optionally 1 to 4 modules. Each mainframe has 4 module slots to hold modules. Each module occupies one
module slot, except for the N6753A – N6755A, N6763A – N6766A and N6792A, which occupy two module
slots. To specify which modules you want installed in the system, the modules are ordered as options to
the system model number. You must order at least one module.

If the sum of the power of the modules exceeds the available output power rating on the mainframe, see
page 18 for an explanation of Keysight’s power management capability.

If you prefer to purchase a DC power analyzer mainframe and modules as separate pieces, see
page 24-25.

Modules as options to N6715C
Order 1 to 4 modules as options to an N6715C, specify its model number, followed by “–ATO.” For
example, to order an N6731B as an option to the N6715C, you would specify “–ATO.” For example, to
order an N6731B as an option to the N6715C, you would specify “N6731B–ATO”as the option. (To order
modules as separate products, see page 28 - 30). If the sum of the power of the modules exceeds the
available output power rating on the mainframe, see page 18 for an explanation of Keysight’s power
management capability.

You can individually specify each option for each module. For example, you can order one module with
Option 761 Output Disconnect Relays while the remaining modules have no relay options.
