The Keysight N6746B is a 100 W basic DC power module engineered for integration into the N6700 Low-Profile Modular Power System or N6705 DC Power Analyzer. This single-slot, low-profile module delivers programmable 0–100 V output at up to 1 A, combining cost-effective operation with essential measurement and protection capabilities. Autoranging output maximizes available power and supports flexible multi-module configurations. The module features voltage and current programming accuracy of 0.1% + 100 mV and 0.15% + 10 mA respectively, with low ripple (18 mV RMS constant voltage). Built-in functions include 4-wire remote sense, LIST mode with up to 512 steps, data logging, arbitrary waveform generation, and adjustable slew rate control. Output response time is 0.2 ms with 20 ms settling time. Digitized measurement capability extends to 524,288 points at 97.656 kHz sample rate. The module integrates via GPIB, LAN, or USB (standard with mainframe) and meets LXI Class C compliance. Operating temperature range is 0–55 °C with input voltage acceptance of 86–240 V AC. Rack mountable when installed in the N6700 mainframe, the N6746B suits automated test equipment and benchtop applications where reliable programmable DC power and integrated measurement are required without ultra-high precision demands.
