PCX-7500-EX Air-Cooled High Power Current Source

The PCX-7500-EX delivers precise, high-current pulse control for driving laser diodes, bars, and arrays in demanding applications—combining power, flexibility, and ease of use in an air-cooled package.

  • Output current: 10 A – 450 A (adjustable)
  • Compliance voltage: variable (high compliance for series-connected loads)
  • Pulse width: 4 µs – 5,000 µs
  • Pulse repetition rate (internal): 8 Hz – 10,000 Hz
  • Air-cooled design for reliable high-power operation
Intuitive front-panel interface:
  • Color QVGA LCD for real-time display of current setpoint, pulse width, frequency, and fault messages
Simple controls for fast setup
  • Computer interfaces: RS-232, USB, Ethernet (full remote/automated control)
  • Store/recall up to 4 system configurations in non-volatile memory
  • Low-impedance strip-line output cable preserves pulse fidelity
  • Safety interlock: output disabled if connector is removed
External trigger via front-panel BNC:
  • Selectable input impedance: 50 Ω or 10 kΩ

Sync output: TTL pulse aligned to leading edge of current pulse (active for internal or external trigger)
