PCM-7700 Pulsed Current Source
Precision Pulse Control
The PCM-7700 series of air-cooled, high-power current sources is designed to drive laser diodes, bars, and arrays with up to 200 A of current (load voltage to 25 V). The PCM-7700-48 has a built-in power supply; the PCM-7700- EX connects to an external supply for higher duty cycles. Both models feature pulse widths from 500 µs to 50 ms and pulse repetition rates from single shot to 1 kHz.
System Operation
The PCM-7700 output current may be set with a potentiometer on the included evaluation board or with an analog voltage. The pulse width is controlled by the trigger input. Digital and analog control modes are supported. In digital mode, an input voltage controls the pulse output current and an external trigger signal controls the pulse width. In analog mode, the output current follows the input voltage. Regardless of mode, the instrument must always be operated within the safe operating area (see SOA graphs below).
Complete System Integration
For automated applications, complete control of the instrument is provided through a DB15 male connector.

2 Operation of instrument outside of the listed load voltage and maximum power limits can cause permanent damage to the instrument and/or load. Please see the SOA graphs in the manual for more information.
Warranty: One year parts and labor on defects in materials and workmanship.
The PCM-7700 current source meets or exceeds these specifications. All specifications are measured using the standard included output cable and a HPL-2400 (lowinductance, high-power resistive load). Load not included.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Safe Operating Area Graphs
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the instrument outside of the Safe Operating Area!Although the PCM-7700’s external triggering system allows it to operate outside the Safe Operating Area, such operation will result in permanent damage to the PCM-7700, 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.
The Safe Operating Area is below the line of each graph. Only operate the instrument in this Safe Operating Area.
