IXYS Colorado intros PCX-7420 precision laser diode driver

FORT COLLINS, USA: IXYS Corp. announced the introduction of the PCX-7420 Precision Laser Diode Driver by its IXYS Colorado division. This system level product provides precision pulsed power with accurate MCU based digital power control.

The PCX-7420 is an air-cooled, high power CW/QCW current sourced designed to drive diode lasers, bars and arrays up to 21.5 Amps at 24 Volts. Designed from the ground up to provide a laser diode driver/current source that is dependable and easy to operate, the PCX-7420 represents the next step in driving laser diodes and other current source applications for research, laboratory, scientific and industrial applications.

By utilizing one of several communication choices all standard with the PCX-7420, customers can easily develop automated testing and characterization configurations which can be stored in the instrument’s on-board memory.

PCX-7420 features:
* 1A – 21.5A Output Current – High current capability with 1-5.8A bias and an additional 15.7A of laser pulse power.
* Fast Rise and Fall Times – less than 25nS for high speed applications.
* Forward Voltages up to 24V – Combining higher current and a 24V capability the PCX-* 7420 provides flexibility to test both single diodes and arrays.
* Output Bias (Simmer) Current
* Diode and Driver Safety – Safety features include over current limit, open load detection and diode steering (prevents reverse current).
* Ease of Operation – Intuitive touch screen interface.
* Communicate – Ethernet, USB and RS232 all standard.
* CE and RoHS compliant – The PCX-7420 is compliant with both the CE and RoHS standards.
