PCX-6425 Pulsed Current Source — Datasheet For sales information or technical questions contact your local IXYS representative or IXYS Colorado directly at: Sales: 970.493.1901 or sales@ixyscolorado.com Technical Support: techsupport@ixyscolorado.com Front Panel Rear Panel Precision Pulse Control 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. System Operation 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 wh ich are at the end of this datasheet. Complete System Integration For automated applications, complete control of the instrument is provided through a Serial interface or a USB interface. The connection s are on the rear of the instrument.

Although the PCX-6425’s external triggering system allows it to operate outside the Safe Operating Area, such operation will result in permanent damage to the PCX-6425, the laser diode, or both. The Safe Operating Area is below the line of each graph. Only operate the instrument in this Safe Operating Area. PCX-6425 SOA Graph, Frequency VS Load Current
