  • Page 14: Introduction To The Instrument

    Source/Measure Units (SMU) have a multiple-quadrant power mesh with separate voltage and current priority source modes. As a measurement system, the Keysight N6705 displays the average output voltage and current in Meter View. Waveforms are displayed in Scope View, which you can adjust using vertical and horizontal controls.
  • Page 15 1 Quick Reference Fast transient response - Available on Keysight N675xA, N676xA, and N678xA SMU power mod- ules. Transient response is less than 100 μs. Output autoranging capability - Available on Keysight N676xA and N675xA power modules. Autor- anging supplies the maximum rated power over a continuous range of voltage and current settings Output On/Off sequencing - A turn-on/turn-off delay capability for each output allows output on/off sequencing.

    OVP for Keysight N678xA SMU (local OVP) For Keysight Models N678xA SMU only, the OVP circuit senses at the 4-wire sense terminals rather than at the output terminals. This allows for more precise overvoltage monitoring directly at the load.

  • Page 64: Output Noise Considerations

    The noise specifications documented in the Keysight N6700 DC Power Analyzer Family Specifications Guide apply at the output terminals when using local sensing. However, voltage transients may be produced at the load by noise induced in the leads or by load current transients acting on the inductance and resistance of the load lead.

    Keysight N6705C Operating and Service Guide Advanced Source, Measurement, and Control Advanced Source Operation Advanced Measurements Using the Digital Control Port This section discusses the difference between constant voltage and constant current operating modes, multiple output quadrant operation, and other advanced source functions.

  • Page 190: Advanced Source Operation

    N678xA Output Bandwidth Single-Quadrant Operation The Keysight N6705C DC Power Analyzer can operate in either constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) over the rated output voltage and current. Constant voltage mode is defined as an operating mode in which the dc source maintains its output voltage at the programmed voltage setting in spite of changes in load, line, or temperature.

  • Page 191: Autoranging

    Autoranging only applies to Keysight N675xA and N676xA power modules. The following figure illustrates the autoranging output characteristic of the Keysight N675xA and N676xA power modules. Point 3 shows a situation in which the voltage and current settings are such that the operating locus is limited by the maximum output power boundary of the output.

    CC status bit. To determine when the output will shut down, you must add the time it takes to set the CC status bit to the over-current protection delay time. If the over-current persists beyond the sum of these two time intervals, the output will shut down. Keysight N6705C Operating and Service Guide...

  • Page 193: Power Limit Operation

    For Keysight N678xA SMU and N6783A-BAT/MFG, the power limit function does not apply. For Keysight N675xA, and N676xA power modules, the power limit function limits the output power at its programmed setting. A status bit (CP+) will indicate that the output is in power limit mode. When the power drawn by the load is reduced below the power limit setting, the output returns to normal operation.

  • Page 194: Output Grouping

    Over-current protection delay has a slightly slower response time (~10 ms) and slightly less res- olution than an ungrouped output. The power limit setting for Keysight N673xB, N674xB, N677xA, and N6783A power modules must be set to its maximum value.
