Keysight N6742B DC Power Module, 8 V, 12.5 A, 100 W for N6700 and N6705

Description

A board with several rails needs them to rise in the right order. The Keysight N6742B DC power module can lead that sequence with one output of up to 8 V and 12.5 A, capped at 100 W. It occupies one slot in an N6700 or N6705 frame. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale.

At a glance

Sequencing a multi-rail board

Power-up order often decides whether a design starts cleanly, so timing matters. Also, a LIST mode program lets the module step through voltage and current values on a timetable. The slew-rate setting controls how fast each rail ramps. Then the built-in data logger records what the board draws. So one module can bring a rail up, then document the result.

Living within 8 V

Any rail at or below 8 V and within 12.5 A fits the rating. For example, a core or I/O rail sits well inside that window. However, rails above 8 V need another module in the same frame. Because the output response is 0.2 ms, the module follows a load step quickly, although commands take about 32 ms to process.

Uses for the Keysight N6742B DC power module

Embedded teams feed device-under-test rails with it during development. Test lines also use it to supply ATE fixture resources. Then, before products ship, it verifies multi-rail sequencing, and it can power automotive and industrial electronics prototypes as well. The Keysight N6742B DC power module therefore earns a place from the first bring-up to the last production check.

Pairing it inside a frame

A compatible mainframe can host up to four independently configured outputs. As a result, the N6742B can sit next to modules with higher voltages. Add up the power of each module before you commit, since the frame has a total budget. An N6705 DC power analyzer also adds bench analysis to the same hardware.

N6742B questions

Which rails fit under the N6742B limits?

Any rail up to 8 V that draws 12.5 A or less fits the rating, while the 100 W cap applies to the output.

How do I record what the board draws?

Use the built-in data logger, then export the readings through your chosen interface and software.

Does it suit production verification?

Yes, because multi-rail power sequencing and production verification are both listed uses for this module.
