Description
The HPLD-1000 is a compact non-isolated DC/DC switch mode power supply with constant current output. Driver produces high stability, low ripple current for powering laser diode modules. The output current value can be varied from 0 to 25 A. Driver can be controlled by CAN interface or external modulation signals. Driver has three modes for use in various applications.
- Mode 1 – CW – is continuous current mode with parameters set by PC control software.
- Mode 2 – Trigger – allows to set current value by PC control software and to trigger
output current by external TTL signal. - Mode 3 – Analog – allows to modulate current by external modulation signal and to
turn driver ON / OFF by external TTL trigger.
Protection features include an overcurrent protection, reverse current protection, crowbar clamp protection and over-temperature shutdown.
Powering
The driver requires a DC power supply. PSU’s output characteristics must cover the driver output power and laser diode voltage. The power supply output voltage must be at least 15% higher than the laser diode voltage drop. We recommend to use a low voltage power supply (for example 12 VDC) for powering low power laser diode with voltage drop 2÷10V.
Cooling
The HPLD-1000 PCB is completed by heatsink for easy thermal management. The driver produces up to 42 W of power losses. Thus the driver heatsink has to be mounted on a thermal conductive surface to ensure proper operation and prevent an over-temperature shutdown. If the conduction cooling is not enough cooling can be improved by adding a fan.
Software
We offer own PC control software to control the driver.
