Universal Photon Source (UPS) Driver

Item Description

The new UPS Driver 2.0 is the second generation universal photon source driver and step (clock pulse) signal generator.It is a flexible, low cost, configurable, drive circuit for a wide range of photonics devices. The UPS Driver can produce either pulsed output voltages as well as continuous wave signals, which makes it suitable for driving thermal sources, LEDs and QCLs. The driver is the perfect complement to the IR sources and LEDs, UV LED and QCL that Boston Electronics supplies.

It provides precise control over pulse voltage, pulse repetition rate and pulse duration, delay relative to external triggers, and synchronization settings. The driver features both internal and external triggering, allowing flexible operation in various configurations.

The output voltage is adjustable from 0V to 25V with a step resolution of 1mV, and the output current is up to 3A.  CW power is up to 10W.  The device also includes synchronization output with adjustable delay and pulse width.

The driver is programed via a user-friendly Windows PC application, utilizing the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) protocol over a USB interface. Once programmed the program can be written to/stored on the device itself after which it will retain the program in non-volatile memory until overwritten. 

Power can be supplied via USB for reduced power output or through an external power supply for full performance, making the new Universal Photon Source Driver ideal for a wide range of scientific, industrial, and OEM applications.
