The Keysight (Agilent) N6766A is a 500 W precision DC power module engineered for demanding test applications requiring exceptional output stability and measurement accuracy. This double-wide module integrates into the N6700 Low-Profile Modular Power System and N6705 DC Power Analyzer, supporting both automated test equipment (ATE) and benchtop configurations. The N6766A digitizes voltage and current simultaneously, capturing transient behavior with oscilloscope-like buffering. Its low noise output—6 mV peak-to-peak and 1 mV RMS across 20 Hz to 20 MHz—preserves signal integrity in sensitive device characterization. Programming accuracy reaches 0.03% + 12 mV for voltage and 0.075% + 4 mA for current (at 23°C ±5°C). Current ripple of 4 mA RMS ensures minimal interference with precision measurements.
