The PCX-6425 is an air-cooled, high-power current source designed to drive laser diodes, bars, and arrays. The output current can be set from 1 A to 150 A. The load voltage for the PCX-6425 is 0 V to 120 V. The pulse width is adjustable from 100 µs to 5 ms with a pulse repetition rate from single shot to 100 Hz.
The PCX-6425 output current and output voltage is set with the encoder on the front of the system. The display allows the user to view all settings on the home screen. These settings are the current output, voltage output, current trip point, and voltage trip point. The pulse width and frequency is controlled with the trigger input at the front panel BNC Gate connection.
The PCX-6425 system also has the ability to set the current trip point and the voltage trip point. The user should ensure the instrument is never operated outside of the SOA curves which are at the end of this datasheet.
