SMDD-250-7-8

250 Amp, 7 Bar, 8 Hz, Switch Mode Pulsed Laser Diode Driver

The SMDD-250-7-8 is the first in a series of ultracompact, improved efficiency per unit weight compared to other drivers. The unit is designed to drive laser diode bars, arrays of laser diode bars, or any low impedance load. The unit features a high peak current of 250 amps with a rise-time of < 10 µs and a maximum pulse width of 300 µs. The pulse repetition frequency can be varied from single shot to 8 PPS.

This output current amplitude can be controlled by either an analog voltage or an on-board potentiometer (jumper selectable). The pulse width is determined by the duration of the input trigger.

The SMDD-250-7-8 requires a user supplied +6 to +13.5 volt input supply.
