SpikeSafe 200 Fast Pulse

SS200 Fast Pulse Data Sheet (PDF)

Overview

The SS200 Fast Pulse (SS200FP) is a programmable current source optimized for OEM and laboratory applications where sensitive optoelectronic devices must be driven and monitored.  The SS200FP provides DC or precise pulsed current up to 5A.  Sophisticated SpikeSafe load transient protections continuously monitor the load during DC and pulsed modes adjusting or halting drive current within a few microseconds of a load anomaly, preventing damage to sensitive devices in the load circuit.  Precise pulses with less than 100nA at the off current allow accurate L-I-V testing.

SpikeSafe Current Sensing Protection

Vektrex’s proven SpikeSafe protection technology eliminates many common causes of failure, such as voltage and current transients. In addition, key parameters are continuously monitored for anomalies; if an anomaly is spotted, drive is terminated within a few microseconds, before a catastrophic device failure occurs. This rapid shutdown preserves the individual device for failure analysis, and it ensures other devices in the circuit are not damaged, significantly reducing costs.
