The Heinzinger PNC 600-300 (600V, 300mA) is not typically required for SiPM-based detectors, which operate at much lower voltages. Berkeley Nucleonics recommends the following Heinzinger power supplies matched to specific detector configurations: for SiPM detectors with integrated electronics (-E3 option), use the PTN 16-10 (0-16V, 0-10A) — these detectors require 5V to 16V at 2-20mA;…
The PVX-4141 and PVX-4141B are functionally identical high-voltage pulsers with the same electrical specifications, performance characteristics, and output capabilities. The ‘B’ suffix denotes a chassis or packaging revision — not a change in electrical design or functionality. Both models are interchangeable in any application. If you are replacing an existing PVX-4141 unit, the PVX-4141B is…
Whether multiple DC power supplies can be combined for higher voltage or current depends on the specific model and its output topology. Some power supplies support series connection (for higher voltage) or parallel connection (for higher current), but this requires compatible output stages and proper load balancing. Not all models are designed for stacking —…
Berkeley Nucleonics offers service agreements for many pulsed power products, with availability depending on the specific instrument and its value. Higher-value units such as PVX high-voltage pulsers, EVO power supplies, and PCX laser diode drivers are typically covered under multi-year service agreements that include calibration, preventive maintenance, and repair. For lower-cost accessories and modules, individual…
The PCX-7500-EX pulsed laser diode driver has a maximum output voltage of 110V. This higher voltage capability makes the PCX-7500-EX suitable for driving laser diode arrays and high-compliance-voltage diodes that require more voltage headroom than standard drivers provide. For applications requiring different voltage ranges, Berkeley Nucleonics offers the full PCX family of pulsed current drivers…
The PCO Series laser diode driver modules have a standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) for standalone purchases. However, Berkeley Nucleonics may offer flexibility on minimum quantities when PCO modules are purchased as part of a larger system or bundled with other BNC instruments such as PVX pulsers or Heinzinger power supplies. Contact Berkeley Nucleonics with…
The Berkeley Nucleonics Model PCM-7140-200 pulsed current driver is designed to handle laser diodes requiring up to 15 amps at 50 volts. The PCM-7140-200 is part of the PCX/PCM family of pulsed laser diode drivers, which offer precise current control with nanosecond-level pulse width capability. For diodes with different current or voltage requirements, Berkeley Nucleonics…
The PVX Series high-voltage pulsers do not include native LabVIEW drivers, but they can be controlled indirectly through LabVIEW by automating the external power supply and pulse generator that drive them. The exception is the PVX-4000-2kV with internal high voltage, which can be interfaced directly with LabVIEW using a custom-built driver. For fully automated test…
The PCX-7500 pulsed laser diode driver remains available from Berkeley Nucleonics. As a specialized high-current driver, the PCX-7500 is produced in limited builds, and lead times may vary depending on component availability. Current estimated lead times are typically in the range of several months. For the most accurate delivery timeline and pricing, contact Berkeley Nucleonics…
Yes, Berkeley Nucleonics offers multi-year service agreements for Heinzinger high-voltage and low-voltage power supplies, including the EVO and PTN series. A standard 3-year service agreement covers calibration, preventive maintenance, and repair services. Service agreements are currently available for customers within the United States. Contact Berkeley Nucleonics for a service agreement quote specific to your Heinzinger…
