FORT COLLINS, USA: IXYS Corp., a leader in power semiconductors for power conversion and motion control applications, announced that its Colorado division has developed and introduced the EVLD02-II Evaluation Board.
The EVLD02-II provides a convenient and easy to operate platform for evaluation of the IXLD02SI Laser Diode Driver IC (Integrated Circuit) that was developed by IXYS.
Improvements to the EVLD02-II Evaluation Board include clear layout, easier operation, improved thermal performance and improved pulse performance.
The new EVLD02-II has been redesigned from the ground up for ease of use. Input power of +5V (or +7V for higher diode voltage options) is easily supplied via a standard connector (included) that is keyed to ensure proper operation.
All components are placed on the top side of the circuit board and are clearly marked for easy reference to the schematic diagram supplied with each unit. Connection to the customer’s laser diode driver is now via large, easy to use/reuse pads.
All circuit elements are placed far enough apart to allow users to probe the circuit with minimal risk of shorting. The companion operating instructions have both a quick start guide for users familiar with laser diode driver products as well as a comprehensive guide to the operation of the circuit for easy reference.
By utilizing improved thermal techniques in the board layout the EVLD02-II will operate up to 17MHz, utilizing the full frequency range of the IXLD02SI Laser Diode Driver IC. No additional heat sinking is required for the operation of the IXLD02SI as mounted on the EVLD02-II.
Using low inductance board layout techniques, users are now able to take full advantage of the high speed and high performance operation of the IXLD02SI Laser Diode Driver IC. This device features frequencies up to 17MHz, pulse widths as low as 1.5nS and rise and fall times of as little as 600pS. The IXLD02SI also features frequency and pulse width agility which can be set and changed independently in real time.
