The Agilent N6752A is a high-performance autoranging DC power module rated 50 V, 10 A, and 100 W. It is one of the mix-and-match modules of the Agilent N6700 Modular Power System, and it installs into the N6700-series low-profile mainframes used in automatic test equipment (ATE) as well as into the N6705 DC Power Analyzer, the modular bench instrument at the heart of the family. As a high-performance autoranging module, it delivers low output noise, fast voltage changes, and autoranging output that supplies maximum power across a range of voltage and current combinations.

The Agilent N6705 DC Power Analyzer is a modular instrument that sources and measures DC voltage and current into a device under test. It combines one to four DC power supplies (or electronic loads) with the functions of a digital multimeter, oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform generator, and data logger in a single integrated unit. Agilent positions it as an entirely new instrument category for R&D engineers, giving insight into a device's power consumption without writing a single line of code, since all sourcing and measuring functions are available directly from the front panel. The low-profile N6700-series mainframes share the same module catalog, fitting up to four outputs into 1U of rack space for ATE use.

The analyzer is intended for R&D testing and design validation work at the bench. Engineers use it to set up and view turn-on and turn-off sequences, measure and display voltage and current versus time to visualize power into the device under test, control DC bias and electronic-load ramp-up and ramp-down rates, generate DC bias transients and disturbances, and log data over seconds, minutes, hours, or even days to capture current and power consumption or anomalies. A common task is inrush current measurement: triggering the integrated oscilloscope on the output's on/off key in single-shot mode captures the current flowing into the DUT as the output turns on. While designed primarily as an R&D bench tool, it is fully programmable and LXI Class C certified, which makes it useful in ATE systems for visualizing results as tests execute, for device troubleshooting, and for test development; it mounts in a standard 19-inch rack as a 4U instrument. Power supplies of this kind are a fundamental component of test systems across aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, computers and peripherals, communications, semiconductor, and automotive electronics.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own test and measurement inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, so the instruments we sell are on hand. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. This combination of held inventory and in-house verification of pre-owned equipment lets engineers buy a modular power system with confidence in both its availability and its condition.

Brand Heritage

Agilent Technologies was established in 1999 as a spin-off of the test and measurement business of Hewlett-Packard. In 2014, that electronic measurement business was separated again into a newly formed company, Keysight Technologies, which carries this product line forward today. Equipment bearing the Agilent name reflects this period of the brand's corporate history.

Compare Other Models in This Series

The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System family centers on a mainframe with four module slots that accepts one to four DC power or electronic load modules. This modular design lets engineers mix and match over thirty different modules to build a solution optimized for specific test requirements — investing in high-performance outputs where speed and accuracy matter, and basic outputs where simple, economical DC power is sufficient. As test needs change, different modules can be purchased and swapped into the mainframe, so the system grows over time.

The modules are grouped into basic, high-performance autoranging, precision, source/measure (SMU), and electronic load series, and the same modules are shared between the N6705 bench analyzer and the N6700 low-profile mainframes used in ATE, allowing test correlation and program sharing between R&D and manufacturing. The family is offered in two mainframe styles: the N6705 DC Power Analyzer used at the bench, and the low-profile N6700-series mainframes used in ATE racks. Across the ATE mainframes, total available output power is offered in 400 W (N6700B), 600 W (N6701A), and 1200 W (N6702A) tiers, while the N6705B DC Power Analyzer mainframe provides 600 W.

Each pre-owned model linked below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the mainframe or module configuration that fits your application, and review that page for its specific output ratings and available options.

The N6705B is the four-slot DC Power Analyzer mainframe, ordered together with separately boxed modules that you assemble yourself, and it provides 600 W of total available power. Buyers who prefer a fully tested, assembled system can instead order the N6715B build-to-order configuration, which ships as one mainframe with one to four installed modules. The N6705B rear panel also provides access ports to route high-current wiring for modules rated above 20 A. On the ATE mainframes, output sequencing can be synchronized between multiple units by wiring the rear-panel I/O ports together — a capability supported on the N6700B, N6701A, and N6702A mainframes. The N6702A 1200 W mainframe additionally senses the available AC line power at turn-on and automatically scales back output power to avoid overloading a standard AC outlet, limiting output to 600 W so a high-power mainframe can be plugged into any standard outlet.

The module series differ chiefly in performance level and output rating. Basic N6730/40/70 modules provide clean, economical DC power at 50 W, 100 W, and 300 W with outputs up to 150 V and up to 20 A. High-performance autoranging N6750 modules — the series that includes this N6752A — and precision N6760 modules add autoranging outputs, lower noise, and faster voltage changes, with available power up to 500 W; the precision series further provides dual programming and measurement ranges with 16-bit programming and 18-bit measurement precision, and adds precise control and measurement in the milliampere and microampere region with simultaneous voltage and current digitizing. The N6780 source/measure units add multi-quadrant operation (two- and four-quadrant configurations for both sourcing and sinking power) and highly accurate measurements down to nanoamperes, and the N6790 electronic loads offer 100 W and 200 W modules with constant voltage, current, resistance, and power modes.

Output ratings, ripple and noise, and voltage and current programming and measurement accuracy vary by module, and modules rated at 300 W or more in the high-performance and precision series occupy two of the four mainframe slots. High-Speed Test Extensions, output disconnect relays (option 761), and output disconnect/polarity reversal relays (option 760) are available according to each module's row in the options table. The comparison table that follows summarizes these per-model differences so the correct module can be matched to the application.

Additional differences in specifications beyond the few shown above are not listed here — see each model's full specifications below.

Product Core & Specifications

The table below lists the key performance specifications for the full range of DC power modules in the series, so the N6752A can be compared directly against the other modules that share the same mainframes. Each entry reads: DC output ratings (V/A/W); ripple & noise (p-p / rms); voltage programming accuracy; current programming accuracy; voltage measurement accuracy; current measurement accuracy.

Important: Front-panel binding posts are rated for 20 A per post; modules with outputs rated greater than 20 A (such as the N6753A) route their high-current wiring through the N6705 rear panel. The N6705B mainframe provides rear-panel access ports for this; for an N6705A mainframe, order N6705U-057 to replace the rear panel.

Important: The N6705B mainframe holds 1 to 4 DC power modules across 4 slots; modules are ordered separately and at least one DC power module is required for the system to function.

Important: Modules rated ≥ 300 W (N6753A–N6756A high-performance autoranging and N6763A–N6766A precision) each occupy two of the mainframe's four module slots; all other modules occupy one slot.

Important: The N6705B mainframe's total available output power is 600 W. If the sum of the installed module power exceeds 600 W, the mainframe's power management feature allocates available power to the outputs where it is needed.

Important: Output current is derated 1% per °C above 40 °C ambient temperature.

Important: When configuring a mainframe with fewer than four filled module slots, you must order a filler panel kit (N6708A); each kit contains three filler panels, and every empty module slot must be filled with a filler panel for proper operation.

Important: If you will be rack mounting the N6700, you must order the rack mount kit (option 908 / N6709A); standard rack rails or slides are not compatible with the N6700 because of its 1U size and airflow requirements. The low-profile mainframe vents from the sides only, so instruments can be mounted directly above or below it.

Important: Installing one of the 500 W modules in the 400 W N6700B mainframe may prevent that module from running at its full rated output power.

Important: For model N6712A, the maximum output power is limited to 600 W at 100 VAC; to achieve full output power of 1200 W you must use option 929 and operate at 200 VAC. When the N6702A 1200 W mainframe is plugged into a standard AC outlet, it automatically limits output power to 600 W to prevent overloading the AC line.

Important: Multi-mainframe output sequencing synchronization is supported on the N6700B, N6701A, and N6702A mainframes; it is not supported on the discontinued N6700A mainframe. Option LGA (large-size FPGA) must be ordered on the N6751A and N6752A modules; it is required to support output sequencing between multiple mainframes.

Important: Option 760 (Output Disconnect/Polarity Reversal Relays) limits output current to 10 A maximum on Models N6742B and N6773A, and is not available on Models N6741B, N6751A, N6752A, N6761A, and N6762A.

Important: Option 2UA (200 µA measurement range) is available only on Models N6761A and N6762A.

Important: Output terminal isolation — no output terminal may be more than 240 VDC from any other terminal or chassis ground. Maximum series operation is 240 V; maximum rated parallel operation is 100 A per N6705.

Important: New modules N6753A and N6754A require mainframe firmware version C.02.00 or greater (available at www.agilent.com/find/N6700firmware). If you add modules with model numbers N673xA, N673xB, N674xA, N674xB, N6753A, N6754A or N677xA to an N672xA, you will not be able to access the Agilent 662x command set for any installed modules; only SCPI commands will be accepted.

Important: Published current/power ratings for Models N6751A and N6752A differ between the datasheet's specification table (page 16: N6751A 50 V/5 A/50 W, N6752A 50 V/10 A/100 W) and the ordering tables (pages 19 and 21: both listed as 50 V/1.5 A/50 W); confirm the installed module's rating from the instrument before relying on maximum output.

Important: This data sheet does not include a comprehensive list of all power module specifications and characteristics; complete performance specifications and supplemental characteristics for all power modules are in the Keysight N6700 Modular Power System Family Specifications Guide, part number N6700-90001.

Recommended pairing: the Agilent 14585A Control and Analysis Software controls up to four N6705 mainframes — up to 16 power modules simultaneously — from a single PC, adding enhanced data visualization and management.
