NEW Low Cost OEM Laser Diode Drivers, Model 787

50A, 5.0V OEM Laser Diode Driver -10nsec to CW:

The Model 787 OEM laser diode driver is a highly efficient, current regulated, low ripple tri-phase laser diode driver designed to power pulsed and CW high current laser diode stacks.

Features include:787

  • Output current up to 1.2 Amps
  • Output pulse width – 10nsec to CW
  • Compliance voltage to 3.0V
  • Fast rise time of 6nsec
  • 5VDC input power
  • RoHS Compliant

Proprietary technology allows a 50A, 5.0V driver with industry-leading efficiency and footprint. Multiple drivers can be stacked together to achieve output currents of 200A or higher. The driver includes open circuit, short circuit, over-temperature and under voltage lockout protection. See our new Lasers 101 page for in depth information on Laser Diodes.
