Product Review

You are purchasing 2 units of the adjustable current power driver fordiodes. Works with AixiZ and other standard diodes. € Adjustable constant current (ACC) driver € 20- 300mA output current range (adjusted by pot on the board) € 5-10V input € TTL control (if required) € Ideal for modules (for battery powered hosts this driver requires the diode to be electrically isolated if the diode if the diode is case+ve) Compact, production quality board. This is a low drop out voltage linear current regulator. The Laser Diode +ve is connected to Power +ve and Laser Diode -ve is controlled by the circuit. (Note: for case +ve diodes the case cannot be grounded.) The minimum input voltage depends on the diode operating voltage and current setting, it is typically about 0.5 - 1.5 V higher than the laser operating voltage. Lower voltages will not allow the full current range and higher voltages will be dissipated by the driver as heat. (Max.~10V) The current required by the driver is typically 20-30mA higher than the output current. Stability is typically better than 3%. When the TTL +ve is not connected the output is a few mA, when it is powered above 2.5V the driver is enabled; it can be connected to power +ve for continuous operation. The TTL control can be used to switch the laser at rates up to 10kHz. Board color (the printed solder-resist layer) may be green or red depending on production batch.
