Founded by George Krausse, now a division of Berkeley… About ## Thirty-eight years of pulsed power Directed Energy has built high voltage pulsers and laser diode drivers since 1987. Today it is a division of Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation. ### Our history Four owners, one product line, and a continuous thread of pulsed power engineering. 1987 #### Founded George Krausse, Dave Adamson and Ron Sherwood start Directed Energy to bring RF power MOSFETs to industry, developing low inductance packaging in beryllium oxide and aluminum nitride ceramics. 2000 #### IXYS On 16 May 2000 Directed Energy becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation. The catalog grows into pulsed laser diode drivers and high voltage pulsers in benchtop, rackmount and module form. 2018 #### Independent again Littelfuse acquires IXYS. Stephen Krausse repurchases Directed Energy and the Colorado facility refocuses on high current and high voltage development. 2021 #### Berkeley Nucleonics In the first quarter of 2021 Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation, founded 1963, acquires the Directed Energy product lines. The products are supported and sold factory direct worldwide. #### Origin of Directed Energy Directed Energy (DEI) was founded in 1987 as Directed Energy, Incorporated by George Krausse, Dave Adamson, and Ron Sherwood. The goal was simple; bring RF Power MOSFETs to the industry and provide uncompromising performance through our patented DE-Series low inductance, high speed, high power density package. As we worked with customers we realized that there was also a need for system and module products that provided high power and/or high voltage pulses at high speed. We developed the instrument product line to fill satisfy this need and help customers fulfill their end requirements without the need to develop, manufacture or maintain this niche technology. Designing the original DE-Series package to achieve the extreme performance improvements meant using our patented low inductance design along with BeO, Aluminum Nitride ceramic components along with other specialized materials. As the technology became more widely accepted, we realized that many markets that were not currently using our device would benefit from the high performance of our package design but we would have to find a way to reduce the cost (and later remove BeO). #### Acquisition by IXYS in 2000 During this time, one of our best suppliers of silicon die was IXYS Corporation, whose die we used in many of the original DE-Series devices. We approached IXYS with a proposed partnership to reduce cost by taking our packaging concept to a more traditional semiconductor manufacturing process. After discussing the idea the IXYS management team responded with an offer to purchase Directed Energy and on May 16th, 2000 Directed Energy, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of IXYS. The DEI brand continues to serve customers around the world with pulsed laser diode drivers and high voltage pulsers in bench-top, rack-mount, and module configurations to address a broad spectrum of customer needs. We feature a Lab to Launch program that allows us to work closely with customer development teams to reduce overall development costs by leveraging our expertise in pulsed power. The end result is an OEM module or instrument that is tailored to the needs of the customer’s application or product. #### Return to Private Ownership in 2018 In 2018 Littelfuse purchased IXYS and the merger of the two companies allowed Stephen Krausse the opportunity to acquire Directed Energy and return the pulsed laser diode drivers, current sources, and high voltage pulser instruments and modules to private ownership. Our Colorado facility was able to once again focus exclusively on challenging High Current and High Voltage products. The agile company remains focused on customer service, research and development, and logistics. #### Acquired by Berkeley Nucleonics in 2021 In 2021Q1, the Directed Energy product lines were acquired by Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (www.berkeleynucleonics.com).

We look forward to working with you! --- # Accessibility Statement Source: https://directedenergy.com/accessibility.html Summary: Directed Energy is committed to WCAG 2.1 AA digital accessibility. Our commitment, how we support accessibility, the limitations we know about, and how to… Legal We build accessibility into this site itself rather than bolting a widget onto it, and we name what still falls short. If anything here stands between you and the information you need, tell us and we will get it to you directly. Directed Energy, a division of Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation ### Our commitment Directed Energy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the experience for all users and applying the relevant accessibility standards to directedenergy.com. ### Conformance status The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, at three levels: A, AA, and AAA. We measure this site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA . Our status is partially conformant . That is the W3C's own term for a site that meets the standard except in specific places, and we list every one of those places under Known limitations below. We use it deliberately: WCAG conformance is all-or-nothing, so any site with a known gap that calls itself conformant is overstating. ### How we support accessibility - Accessibility is built into this site's own HTML and design. We do not rely on a third-party accessibility overlay or widget. - Every page declares its language, carries a unique title, and uses semantic structure with a main landmark and a "skip to content" link. - The site is operable by keyboard, with a focus indicator chosen to stay visible on both the dark header and the light page. - Every content image carries a text alternative; decorative images are marked as such. - Form fields have accessible names. - Text meets the contrast ratio Level AA requires, and the reduced-motion preference is respected. ### Known limitations We would rather name these plainly than leave you to find them. If any of the following stands between you and what you need, contact us and we will get it to you directly. - Downloadable documents. This site links a large library of datasheets and manuals as PDFs, and the older ones are not fully tagged for screen readers. Ask us for any document in an accessible or alternative format and we will provide it. - Video captions. The handful of videos on this site are hosted on YouTube and carry automatic captions, which are useful but not error-free. If you need a corrected transcript for a specific video, contact us and we will supply one. - Embedded third-party content. A small number of pages embed material served by other providers, including the YouTube player. We do not control their markup, and their accessibility may differ from the rest of the site. - Older imported content. Some article and application-note pages carry text brought across from the previous site. We are working through them as they are revised. ### Feedback and contact We welcome your feedback. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in an alternative format, please contact us and we will respond within three business days. Email: [info@berkeleynucleonics.com](mailto:info@berkeleynucleonics.com) Phone: [800-234-7858](tel:+18002347858) Mail: Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation, 2955 Kerner Blvd, San Rafael, CA 94901 ### Assessment approach We assess accessibility by self-evaluation, combining automated testing with manual keyboard review, and we repeat it as the site changes. The most recent sweep, on August 7, 2026, covered all 113 pages. It confirmed that every page declares a language and a title, that all 706 content images carry a text alternative, and that every form field has an accessible name. Contrast was measured rather than estimated: body text reaches 16.4:1 on white, links 7.4:1, and white on the navy header 18.2:1, all of which clear the stricter Level AAA threshold. One grey used for secondary labels fell short at 2.9:1 and was darkened until it passed. A visible keyboard focus ring was added in the same pass, in a blue chosen to clear the 3:1 non-text threshold against the dark header and the light page alike. This statement was last reviewed on August 7, 2026.

Directed Energy builds solid state pulse generators for that work, from 50 V modules up to 10 kV bipolar instruments. This page covers where they get used and what to weigh when choosing one. DEI High Voltage Pulsers and Pulse Generators for Education ### University and Academic Research Applications - Time of flight measurement Time of flight setups gate a detector or a source with a precisely timed high voltage pulse, and the timing has to repeat shot after shot. External trigger inputs on the PVX family let the pulser share a clock with the rest of the instrument chain. - Q switching Q switch drive is the classic high voltage pulser application: a fast edge into a mostly capacitive electro optic element. Rise time and fall time both matter, which is why the half bridge output stage used in the PVX-4141 gives 25 ns edges in both directions rather than a fast rise and a slow decay. - Beam steering Electro optic deflectors and scanners need a settled voltage step, since any overshoot or ringing turns into pointing error. Bipolar output lets the element be driven symmetrically about ground instead of being biased to one side. - Pockels cells A Pockels cell looks electrically like a small capacitor, and the drive requirement follows from the half wave voltage of the crystal and how fast you need to reach it. The PVX-4110 supplies plus or minus 10,000 V with 60 ns edges for cells that need the full range. - Acoustic transducers Ultrasonic and acoustic transducers are driven with a short high voltage pulse and then allowed to ring. Pulse width control down to well under 100 ns determines the bandwidth of the acoustic burst that comes out. - Microchannel plates MCP gating requires a fast, well defined voltage step across a high impedance structure, often at repetition rates in the kilohertz range. A pulser designed for capacitive loads is the right tool here, since load capacitance sets the achievable edge speed. - Photomultiplier tubes and image intensifiers Gated detection uses a high voltage pulse to switch a tube or intensifier on for a narrow window and reject light outside it. The gate has to be clean, because ringing on the gate edge appears as artifact in the recorded frame. ### Products That Work for You - Open frame modules Module level pulsers, supplied as a board or a board on a heatsink, mount inside a larger assembly and keep the high voltage path short. The PVM-1001 reaches 950 V in under 10 ns in this form factor. - Enclosed modules Enclosed units add a housing and defined connections, which matters more than usual at high voltage because it puts a barrier between the student and the output. The PVM-4210 packages two output channels driven from common control logic in a single module. - Integrated benchtop and rack mount systems Benchtop instruments such as the PVX-4000-2kV include an internal pulse engine and RS232 and USB control, so the pulse can be set from a script rather than a front panel. Rack mount configurations suit a permanent experiment that other people will inherit. - Bipolar output The PVX-4000 and PVX-4100 series use a direct coupled half bridge output, giving symmetric rise and fall and low power dissipation. Bipolar drive is what many electro optic elements want, and it avoids the DC offset a single ended driver leaves on the load. - A voltage range that spans the work The line runs from the PVX-2506 at 50 V up through the PVX-4151 at plus or minus 1,500 V, the PVX-4141 at 3,500 V, the PVX-4130 at 6,000 V and the PVX-4110 at 10,000 V. Higher voltage generally costs repetition rate, so choose the lowest voltage that actually drives your load. ### Support and Expertise So You Can Stay Focused - Application support from pulse generator specialists Load capacitance, cable length and average power are the three things that most often decide whether a pulser works in a given setup. Describing the load before ordering is faster than discovering the limit on the bench. - Writing and publishing A published instrument with stated rise time, pulse width and amplitude is straightforward to document in a methods section. That matters when another group tries to reproduce the measurement. - Teaching Module level pulsers are affordable enough that several teams can each have one, so students work hands on instead of queuing for a single station. High voltage also teaches respect for procedure in a way that low voltage benches do not. - Research Multi year programs need pulsers that hold their specification and can be serviced rather than replaced. Solid state designs with no gas switches or consumable elements are what make that practical. - Science and experimentation Requirements change as an experiment develops, so pick a pulser with headroom in voltage, width and repetition rate. Adjustable pulse width from tens of nanoseconds through to DC, controlled by the input gate, covers a wide span of future setups. Send the load you need to drive, its capacitance, the voltage and polarity required, and the pulse width and repetition rate. An applications engineer will identify the closest pulse generator and flag any limit, thermal or capacitive, that you would otherwise find later. --- # Laser Diode Drivers for Universities… Source: https://directedenergy.com/applications/education-laser-diode-drivers.html Summary: Research groups in national laboratories, universities and non government organizations do the work that eventually turns into products. Directed Energy… Education ## Laser Diode Drivers for Universities and Academic Institutions Research groups in national laboratories, universities and non government organizations do the work that eventually turns into products. Directed Energy supplies laser diode drivers and application support to those groups, from a single OEM module on a student bench to an integrated rack system running an experiment for months. The goal is simple: the driver should be the part of the setup you stop thinking about. DEI Laser Diode Drivers for Education ### University and Academic Research Applications - LiDAR and optical ranging Ranging experiments need short, repeatable current pulses because range resolution follows pulse width and range precision follows timing stability. Drivers with rise and fall times in the low nanoseconds, such as the PCO-7111 at 2 ns to 3.5 ns, are the usual starting point for a teaching or research ranging setup. - Photoacoustic imaging Photoacoustic work fires an optical pulse into tissue or a phantom and listens for the ultrasound generated by thermoelastic expansion. Signal amplitude tracks optical energy per pulse, so amplitude drift in the driver shows up directly as contrast drift in the reconstructed image. - Additive manufacturing Laser based additive processes need controlled energy delivery per unit area, sustained over long builds. Quasi CW and CW capable drivers such as the PCO-6511, rated to 10 A with 10 V compliance, cover the lower power end of this work on a lab budget. - Time of flight systems Time of flight measurement converts a timing interval into distance, so any shot to shot variation in when the optical pulse actually leaves the diode becomes measurement error. External trigger inputs let the driver be synchronized to the same clock as the detection electronics. - Refraction and diffusion studies Measuring how light bends and scatters through a medium calls for a stable source and the ability to vary one parameter at a time. A driver with independently adjustable amplitude, width and repetition rate lets a student isolate the variable under study. - Laser spectroscopy Diode laser wavelength moves with junction temperature and therefore with drive current, which is exactly why spectroscopy groups care about current regulation. A true current source holds amplitude as the diode forward voltage changes, instead of letting the operating point wander. ### Products That Work for You - Open frame modules An open frame driver is a bare PCB, or a PCB on a heatsink, that mounts directly into a student built assembly. It is the least expensive way into the product line and it keeps the connection to the diode short, which preserves the pulse edge. - Enclosed modules Enclosed modules put the same circuit in a housing with defined connectors and mounting. In a shared lab where several people touch the same equipment, the enclosure is worth what it costs. - Integrated benchtop and rack mount systems Benchtop instruments such as the PCX-7401 add an internal pulse engine and Ethernet, RS232 and USB remote control, so an experiment can be scripted and left to run. Rack mount versions of the higher power units suit a permanent installation rather than a bench that gets rebuilt every term. - Pulsed drivers Pulsed drivers cover the short pulse, high peak current end of the range, where the diode is driven well above its CW rating for a very short time. The PCO-6131 reaches 125 A at 20 V compliance with 30 ns edges and repetition rates to 500 kHz. - CW and quasi CW drivers Continuous and quasi continuous drivers trade edge speed for sustained output and thermal capability, with pulse widths from microseconds through to full duty cycle, which suits material processing and long integration experiments. ### Support and Expertise So You Can Stay Focused - Application support from driver specialists Directed Energy engineers work on laser diode drivers full time, which means they have already seen most of the failure modes a new group is about to discover. Sending your load parameters and pulse requirements before you order usually saves a semester of debugging. - Writing and publishing Reviewers ask how the source was driven, and a catalog driver with published specifications is easier to describe in a methods section than a circuit somebody built two graduate students ago. It also makes the work reproducible by another group. - Teaching Economical modules let a class run real experiments in small groups rather than watching one demonstration setup. Students see current sources, compliance voltage and pulse shaping behave the way the lecture said they would. - Research Long running experiments need equipment that behaves the same in month six as it did in week one. Current regulation and defined thermal limits are what make that stability possible. - Science and experimentation Exploratory work changes direction, so the useful driver is the one with room in its operating envelope for the experiment you have not designed yet. Adjustable amplitude, width and repetition rate all buy that room. Tell us the diode or array you are driving, the current and compliance voltage it needs, and the pulse width and repetition rate your experiment calls for. We will point you at the closest standard driver and say plainly if nothing in the catalog fits. --- # Laser Diode Drivers for LiDAR… Source: https://directedenergy.com/applications/lidar.html Summary: LiDAR turns light into distance, and the quality of that distance measurement starts with the current pulse driving the laser diode. Directed Energy has… Application ## Laser Diode Drivers for LiDAR Applications LiDAR turns light into distance, and the quality of that distance measurement starts with the current pulse driving the laser diode. Directed Energy has built laser diode drivers for ranging work for more than twenty years, from early laser speed guns for law enforcement through today's 3D imaging and autonomous vehicle programs. The pages below cover the driver features that matter for LiDAR and the measurement problems engineers are solving with them. DEI Laser Diode Drivers for LiDAR Applications ### Key Product Features - Open frame construction Open frame drivers ship as a bare PCB or a PCB mounted on a heatsink, which lets you place the driver next to the diode and keep the output loop short. That matters in LiDAR because loop inductance is what limits how fast the current edge can rise. - Enclosed modules Enclosed versions put the same circuitry inside a shielded housing with defined mounting points and connectors. They cost more board space than an open frame card but they simplify EMI containment and handling in a system that is going to be assembled by more than one person. - Lab to Launch The standard catalog rarely lands exactly on a LiDAR requirement, so Directed Energy runs a Lab to Launch program that starts with off the shelf instruments for the bench and ends with an OEM module built to your parameters. You prototype with a standard product, then move to a custom variant without changing the underlying current source topology. - Analog and digital control Drivers are available with analog current setting, digital control, or both, so the same module can be trimmed by a bench supply during characterization and then commanded by a host controller in the product. Benchtop units such as the PCX-7401 add Ethernet, RS232 and USB remote control for automated test. - Nanosecond pulse edges Short pulses are what give LiDAR its range resolution, and the driver has to produce them without ringing. The PCO-7111 is specified at 2 ns to 3.5 ns rise and fall with pulse widths of 5 ns to 10 ns, and the PCO-6141 reaches 12 ns edges at up to 60 A. - Fixed or variable pulse widths Fixed width drivers are simpler and cheaper because the pulse shaping is set at the factory, which suits a volume LiDAR build with one operating point. Variable width parts such as the PCO-6131, specified from under 100 ns to DC, let a research group sweep width and duty cycle while they are still deciding what the operating point should be. - Current source topology and low inductance layout These drivers regulate current, not voltage, so the diode sees a controlled amplitude regardless of how its forward voltage drifts with temperature. The layouts are built to keep output inductance low, since inductance in the output loop directly slows the rising edge and rounds the pulse. ### Science and Environmental Measurement - Mapping Airborne and terrestrial LiDAR produce ground models at a density that photogrammetry cannot match, including under tree canopy. Pulse to pulse amplitude stability is what keeps the returns comparable across a survey line, which is a direct requirement on the driver. - 3D modeling Point clouds captured from several positions are registered into a single model of a structure, a site or an object. Narrow pulses improve the ability to separate two surfaces that are close together in range. - Yield forecasting Agricultural LiDAR estimates canopy height, density and biomass across a field, and those numbers feed yield models weeks before harvest. Surveys are repeated through the season, so the instrument has to give the same answer in June that it gave in April. - Fire and flood modeling Fuel load, terrain slope and channel geometry all come out of LiDAR terrain data, and they drive fire spread and flood inundation models. After an event, a repeat survey quantifies what actually changed. - Pollution modeling Atmospheric LiDAR reads backscatter from aerosols and particulates to profile a plume with altitude. These systems tend to run at high repetition rates and average many shots, which puts a thermal duty cycle requirement on the driver as well as a speed requirement. - River surveys and water resource management Bathymetric and topographic LiDAR map channel geometry, bank erosion and floodplain extent for water resource planning. Water absorbs strongly at the usual ranging wavelengths, so these systems need every bit of peak optical power the diode can be driven to. ### Navigation, Mobility and Energy - Advanced driver assistance systems ADAS sensors have to resolve a pedestrian from a lamp post at highway speed, which means short pulses, high repetition rates and consistent amplitude. Automotive programs also push the driver into a small thermal envelope, which is where open frame modules mounted directly to a heatsink earn their place. - Automated guided vehicles Factory AGVs use LiDAR for both obstacle detection and localization against a known floor plan. Ranges are shorter than automotive, so the design tension moves away from peak power and toward cost, size and reliability over long duty cycles. - Vehicle speed measurement Laser speed measurement takes a series of range readings and differentiates them, so timing jitter in the emitted pulse converts directly into speed error. Directed Energy supplied drivers into this application before LiDAR became a mainstream term. - Oil, gas and mineral exploration Differential absorption LiDAR detects methane and other gases by comparing returns at two wavelengths, one absorbed by the target species and one not. The comparison is only as good as the amplitude repeatability between the two shots, which is a current source specification. - Wind studies and analysis Doppler LiDAR measures wind speed and direction at hub height for turbine siting and for real time control of an operating turbine. Long coherent averaging times mean the driver runs continuously for hours, so thermal behavior matters as much as pulse shape. ### Urban Planning and Infrastructure - City and land use modeling Municipal LiDAR builds building footprints, roof geometry and vegetation layers into planning models. Once the base survey exists, later flights are differenced against it to show what has been built and what has been removed. - Transportation corridor mapping Mobile LiDAR mounted on a vehicle captures road surface, signage, clearances and adjacent structures in a single pass, without closing the road. Data rates are high because the platform is moving, which pushes repetition rate up. - Terrain and contour mapping Bare earth models are extracted by classifying ground returns and discarding vegetation and structures. Multiple returns from one pulse are what make that classification possible, and resolving them requires a short, clean pulse. - Architecture and heritage recording Scanning an existing building produces an as built model that is accurate enough to design against, which is useful when the original drawings are wrong or missing. Interior scans work at close range, so dynamic range in the receiver and control of the emitted amplitude both matter. - Sewers and tunnels Confined space scanning captures ovality, joint offsets and deformation along a buried asset. Space and power are both limited on these platforms, which is the case for a compact OEM module rather than a benchtop instrument. - Floodplain mapping Floodplain delineation depends on vertical accuracy of a few centimeters across large areas, since a small elevation error moves the mapped water line a long way. Consistent pulse timing across a whole survey is what holds that accuracy together. If a standard driver does not fit the optical, thermal or mechanical envelope of your LiDAR design, that is the normal starting point rather than the end of the conversation. Send the required current amplitude, compliance voltage, pulse width, repetition rate and duty cycle, and an applications engineer will tell you which standard product is closest and what would have to change. --- # Contact Directed Energy | Sales & Tech Support Source: https://directedenergy.com/contact.html Summary: Contact Directed Energy through Berkeley Nucleonics in San Rafael, CA for sales and technical support by phone, email or web form.

Directed Energy has been delivering high voltage pulsers and…. Specifications, documentation and quotes from Directed Energy. Press Archive ## Directed Energy News: BBB Accredited | PVX-4000-2kV | What's a voltage pulser? #### BBB Accredited! Directed Energy has been delivering high voltage pulsers and current sources for over 30 years! We’re proud to be backing up that history of service with accreditation by the Better Business Bureau. #### From the Knowledge Base: What's a voltage pulser? Pulsers with maximum output voltages between 850 V to 10 000 V are used for accelerated life testing of dielectric materials; for driving extraction grids and deflection plates in time-of-flight mass spectrometers; and for driving Pockels cells, Q switches, microchannel plates, acoustic transducers, image intensifiers, and photomultiplier tubes. Loads are generally connected to pulsers via several feet of coaxial cable. Some models designed to drive capacitive loads and can deliver high current briefly during the pulse’s leading and trailing edges. Other models are designed to drive 50 ohm loads. The pulsers are generally not intended to drive plasma chambers or other loads that can become short- or near-short circuits during operation. Depending on the model, pulses can be positive voltage only, negative voltage only, or both. How does a pulser work? At minimum, it contains: - A fast, high-voltage electronic switch that creates pulses with fast edges - An local capacitor bank that alternately stores and releases energy - A logic-level trigger input that controls the width and repetition rate of the pulses A more integrated pulser may add: - An internal pulse engine that generates trigger pulses - A voltage monitor that facilitates viewing the pulse on an oscilloscope - A built-in high-voltage DC power supply to recharge the energy storage capacitors In short, voltage pulsers accept energy from a power supply, store it, and when triggered, release it in constant-voltage, high-peak-current pulses. The usual key specifications are voltage, pulse width, pulse repetition rate, and pulse rise and fall times. It’s also important to take into account the pulser’s peak output current and maximum power dissipation. #### All in One pulsing up to ±2000V! #### Checking in on the PVX-4000-2kV The PVX-4000-2kV is an air-cooled, high voltage bipolar pulse generator. Optimized for driving high impedance capacitive loads at up to ±2000 V, the PVX-4000-2kV is well-suited for driving extraction grids and deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators. #### Features - 0 to ±2000 V Pulse Output - <50 ns Rise And Fall Times - Pulse widths from <500 ns to DC - Internal Trigger - 40 Hz to 30 kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency - 2% to 98% Duty Cycle - External Trigger - Single Shot to 100 kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency - 0% to 100% Duty Cycle - Protected Against Arcs, Shorts And Load Transients - Voltage Monitor and Sync Outputs #### Applications Optimized for high impedance capacitive loads, the PVX-4000-2kV is well-suited for driving extraction grids and deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators. Its robust and versatile design also makes it well suited for pulsing or gating power tube grids, Pockels cells and Q Switches, acoustic transducers, microchannel plates, photomultiplier tubes and image intensifiers. #### Lab to Launch Standard modules and instruments not quite meeting the needs of your product, project, process or environment?

For current help please [contact us](https://directedenergy.com/contact.html). 2018 was quite a year for us here at Directed Energy (formerly IXYS Colorado and, more formerly than that… Directed Energy)! You may know that IXYS was acquired by Littelfuse in January of 2018. During the integration of IXYS technologies into Littelfuse, I had the opportunity to purchase Directed Energy and the associated laser diode driver and high voltage pulse generator business. As of December 28th, 2018; Directed Energy, Inc. is now an independent, privately held company. #### We’ve Come Full Circle! In 2000 the shareholders of Directed Energy (including myself) sold the company to IXYS. During 18 years with the IXYS companies we introduced numerous new RF Power components including the lower cost plastic package. We also continued to produce, sell and innovate in the laser diode driver and high voltage pulser business under the Directed Energy brand. As the integration of IXYS into the Littelfuse family progressed, the opportunity to reacquire the Directed Energy business made sense for Littelfuse as well as for myself and my team. #### What does this mean to you? The IXYSRF MOSFET and MOSFET Driver products will remain part of Littelfuse. Here at Directed Energy, we are looking forward to focusing our energy on designing, supplying and supporting the laser diode drivers and high voltage pulsers and working with customers like you that use them.

Press Archive  One of the suggestions we received when we did our customer survey this summer was that it would be helpful to customers if we had our pricing on our website. The short version is that I agree, and it’s done. We’ve added pricing for our products and it’s easy to find on each product page. This might seem like an underwhelming event in 2019 but for a small business with a worldwide customer base and international representative network it presents some interesting challenges. Personally, when I am searching for a new product or solution one of the first things I look for is what it’s going to cost. It isn’t always about price comparison shopping (well… sometimes it is) but about getting a realistic view of what that particular solution is going to cost my business. You may be wondering if I think it’s important… why not list it? I’m glad you asked! #### Pricing As I mentioned earlier, publicly listing pricing on our website does present challenges. When a potential customer sees the U.S. pricing on our website it can create an expectation of cost in our international markets. This puts our international representatives and distributors in a difficult position since there are taxes, import duties, transportation costs, tariffs, etc. that are involved with international business which effect the final customer price outside North America. Directed Energy and the representatives in those locations have little or no control over these external costs. Our representatives provide valuable support to our international customers including product & application expertise, local language and geographic presence. While we implement this change I will work directly with your local representative to support them just as they support you, our customers. #### Online Shopping As part of this website update we also enabled the online shopping feature of our product catalog. During the early 2000’s we went through the process of developing and operating an online shopping solution and it worked until web technology changed faster than our shopping cart provider. So that’s just a really nice way of saying the shopping cart portion of our site was compromised and redirected to another web location. While no customer data was put at risk and the website redirect was quickly corrected, the experience did leave me concerned about the integrity of internet shopping. Consequently, we made the decision not to implement a new solution and removed the online purchase capability. Well a lot has changed in the last ~20 years (has it really been that long?!). Internet and website security has come a long way as have the shopping cart and credit card processing companies that service the ‘internet economy’. I’m excited to be able to provide you with the convenience of an online shopping option. There are a few things we need to keep in mind. #### Geographic Availability The shopping cart is currently only available for the U.S. and Canada. There are a number of reasons for this. First, we want to roll out this new feature in the most financially familiar market we have. Second, before we can offer online shopping in countries where we have representation we need to understand how to coordinate those sales with the local rep so you are still assured of the best local service possible. I will watch this carefully to determine if other regions would be viable for online shopping. #### Export Control As you probably know, Directed Energy’s products are exported using a designation of EAR99 which would give the impression that there is no export control required. The designation is only part of the story and, unfortunately, a somewhat misleading one. Our products are used in high powered lasers, particle detection and acceleration and other scientific, industrial and commercial applications most of which are benign, civilian products and projects. However, there are applications in non-commercial activities which require us to be accountable for proper end-use disclosure prior to shipment. Each order must be accompanied by our [Export Control Form](https://directedenergy.com/docs/DEI-Export-Control-Form.pdf). To streamline the checkout process your purchase confirmation email will contain the form as an attachement which you can fill out, scan and send back to sales@directedenergy.com. We will need this prior to shipping your order and it is applicable to both international and domestic sales. #### Payment Options We currently accept all major credit cards and e-checks for purchase on our website.

Fault detection is available via a six pin connector with normally open and normally closed feedback. The use of this fault feedback is recommended but not required. Using the load is simple utilizing either the D-subminiature connector or ring terminals. The D-subminiature connector allows the load to be used in pulsed applications with less than 100 nanosecond rise and fall times. Ring terminals can be used for DC applications. The HPL-2400 is available in seven standard load values including 0.125, 0.250, 0.500, 1, 2, 5 and 10 ohms. Custom values to 125K ohms can be configured at the factory in order to directly match specific load characteristics (i.e., a laser diode). #### Features - 2400 W Resistive Load - Very Low Inductance allows fast rise and fall times in pulsed applications - Fault Detection - RoHS Compliant #### Advantages - Simple Stripline or Ring Terminal Connections - Compact Fully Enclosed Design #### Applications - Power Supply Testing and Characterization - Laser Diode Driver Testing and Characterization ##### Specifications | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Cooling | Water | | Form Factor | Module | | Dimensions | 18x9x9 | | Weight | 6 | ##### Documents - [PDF Datasheet](https://directedenergy.com/docs/HPL-2400_Datasheet_RevA.pdf) ##### Get a price Priced by configuration.

When the control logic receives a gate signal, both channels pulse simultaneously. One channel pulses from ground to the positive high voltage, and the other channel pulses from ground to the negative high voltage. Therefore each output can be connected to the electrodes of a Pockels Cell or Q-Switch, or to a pair of deflection plates, providing a 1,900 V differential pulse across the cell or plates. These outputs may also be inverted, to pulse from the high voltage potential to ground. The width and frequency of the output pulses follow the width and frequency of the TTL input gate. The amplitude of the output pulse voltage for each channel is independently adjustable from 0 to 950V using screwdriver-adjustable potentiometers readily accessible on the end panel of the pulser module. #### Features - Simultaneous Positive And Negative 0 To +950 V and 0 To –950 V - >20 kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency - Internal High Voltage Power Supplies #### Applications The PVM-4210 is optimized for differential drive of deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators.

The current monitor contains a current-to-voltage resistor (CVR), also known as a current sense resistor. The use of this accessory board eliminates the uncertainty of the exact current and pulse shape that is being delivered to the load. The following is a demonstration of the PCA-9155 current monitor board with a PCO-6131. The first step is to ensure you have the correct current monitor board. The PCA-9150 Current Monitor is used with the PCO-6141 and has a scale factor of 5 mV per A. A current of 60 A results in a 300 mV reading on the oscilloscope. The PCA-9155 is used with the PCO-6131 and has a scale factor of 1 mV per A. A current of 125 A results in a 125 mV reading on the oscilloscope. For this demonstration we use the PCO-6131 and PCA-9155. The next step is to attach the PCA-9155 board to the PCO-6131 as shown below. When this board is attached to the driver you will need to make sure the white interlock magnet is over the magnetic reed switch that is located on the top control card of the unit. This can be seen in the photo above. The next step is to connect the stripline and load to the PCA-9155 current monitor board. The load that is being used in this demonstration is a 0.166Ω HPL-2400 test load. The final step is to connect the PCA-9155 cable to the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope input channel will need to set to 50Ω termination. If your scope does not have this setting you will need a BNC 50Ω termination connector. Once everything is properly connected we can start pulsing the PCO-6131. In this example the PCO-6131 trigger is set to 100 Hz with a 100 µs pulse width. In the following oscilloscope shots, the actual current is displayed with a scaling of 1 mV per A. The first is 30 A, the second is 60 A, and the third is 125 A. Thanks for reading!

A high speed, narrow pulse with a fast rise time is paramount when driving laser diodes for ranging and digital communications. BNC offers a variety of high current pulsers for use with both laser diodes and LEDs. We often get calls from customers who are experts in optics and laser diodes but have less hands-on experience with electronics, and as a result are having trouble getting a high-speed laser pulse to the load. The problem magnifies when they’re using a high speed pulser more than a couple of feet from the laser diode. Our technical support team is always ready to explain what needs to be done and why. We welcome the opportunity to help our customers get the best performance. When using a current pulser capable of fast rising edges, correct interconnection is everything, especially when dealing with distance. #### What Doesn’t Work If a customer doesn’t understand what is happening on the electronics side, they’ll typically take a current pulser, grab a laser diode, and connect the two using hookup wire, braid, or a chunk of coax, thinking that because these products are ‘high performance’, it will work fine. It doesn’t. The issue is one of physics. To see exactly what happens when the connection isn’t good, drive the laser diode into a dead short and take a picture of the pulse on the scope. Next, drive it to the wiring and take another picture. Pulse degradation is quite clear. At the very least, edges are rounded off, and at worst that pulse turns into a sine wave, a big jumble of noise. #### Better Approaches If you’re going to send pulses with rise times of less than a nanosecond to a laser diode, the only way to do it properly is to make the connection with stripline*, two copper conductors that are the same width and insulated from each other all the way from the source to the load. Do not use adapters, clamps, clips, connectors, alligator clips, or clothespins. If you use a few inches or at most a couple of feet of stripline to connect the pulser to the laser diode, you’ll achieve the transfer of a nice rising edge pulse. Although this is not necessarily convenient to do, as laser diodes don’t always lend themselves to a wide, flat copper connection, the paragraphs and photos below show several ways to accomplish it. You may need to send a pulse 30 feet. After 3 or 4 feet, the pulse can be distorted. The 30 feet can be done. However, you can’t send a one-nanosecond rise time pulse that far. If you can tolerate a one-microsecond rise time pulse, 1,000 times slower, that can be done. There is always a tradeoff between the speed of the rising edge and the amount of inductance that can be tolerated. A better approach is to lay out a simple two-layer PCB that adapts the stripline to the laser diode. One conductor of stripline is soldered to each side of the board, turning the board into an extension of the stripline. A radial-leaded diode can be mounted perpendicular to the board, while an axial-leaded diode can straddle the edge of the board. It’s easy to design holes or cutouts in the board to match the laser package. Separate boards can be inexpensively produced to interface each package type to the stripline. If desired, a DB-37 connector can be added to make it easy to connect and disconnect boards from the stripline. The board layout on the right supports both connection methods. The board shown on the left serves a dual role of interfacing a laser diode to a stripline and providing current monitoring. Here, there are eight parallel-connected 2512-size SMT resistors, chosen for low inductance. The group of eight resistors is connected in series with the pulse output. For example, a 49.9-ohm resistor is connected in series with the current monitor output to match a 50-ohm oscilloscope input. If the factory-supplied stripline is longer than needed, it can be shortened without ill effect. Do not, however, extend the stripline. Bending it is acceptable, if the conductors are not separated, as separation increases inductance. Keep the stripline away from other conductors. #### A Quick Tutorial People expect pulses to go faster all the time. If light pulses can race down fiber at gigahertz speed, why can’t we get the same speed with a pulser? The difference is that when you’re sending pulses down a fiber, you’re talking microwatts, very low power. Try doing that at 100 amps, it can’t be done. While our pulsers are state of the art, inductance is still the challenge when we talk about sub-nanosecond rise times. Transistors, components, the PCB layout, and the stripline all must be at low inductance so that we don’t modify the pulse from the desired shape. Unfortunately, the situation changes when you want amps. For a short tutorial on optimizing connections between a high-speed laser diode driver and a laser diode, watch our Making Connections [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8nUZALWOU), below. BNC offers various models with outputs from 1 mA to 450 A, predominantly used to drive, test, and characterize laser diodes and LEDs. If your application involves either testing insulation/dielectric materials, or driving deflection plates, piezoelectric transducers, or other high-impedance loads, refer to our line of high voltage pulsers.

There are four items associated with setting the output current: - I SET three-pin header - CURRENT SET pot - Current Setpoint input (pin 4 of J2) - Output Current Set Monitor output (pin 6 of J2) Locate the I SET three-pin header on the upper PC board (see Figure 1). The desired control mode is chosen by pushing the provided shunt over two pins. #### Local Control Figure 1 To place the unit into Local Control mode, push the shunt over the two pins marked LCL. In this mode, a regulated internal +5 V source drives the CURRENT SET pot. #### External Control To place the unit into External Control mode, push the shunt over the two pins marked EXT. In this mode, the external supply connected to the Current Setpoint input (pin 4 of J2, see Figure 2) drives the CURRENT SET pot. That means the output current is controlled by both the amplitude of the external voltage (+20 V maximum) and the position of the CURRENT SET pot. Note that the CURRENT SET pot is active regardless of the control mode. Zero current corresponds with the pot in its fully counterclockwise position. #### Output Current Measurement Figure 2 Whenever the PCO-6131/PCO-6141 ENABLE input is high, the unit is enabled and an internal loop current flows. The voltage on pin 6 of J2 (Output Current Set Monitor) is proportional to the loop current. For the PCO-6131, the scale is 10 mV per A into 50 Ω. For the PCO-6141, the scale is 20 mV per A into 50 Ω. It is a high-impedance output intended to be measured with a digital multimeter or oscilloscope. It is NOT part of the output pulse circuit, so it cannot be used with an oscilloscope to view output pulses. Instead, its purpose is to allow you to measure and adjust the output current before bringing the GATE input high and thus turning on the output. To see the actual output pulse with an oscilloscope, purchase the appropriate Current Monitor accessory. For the PCO-6131, it’s the PCA-9155, which has a scale factor of 1 mV per A into 50 Ω. For the PCO-6141, it’s the PCA-9150, which has a scale factor of 5 mV per A into 50 Ω. Thanks for reading!

Either the PCO-7810’s internal trigger source, or an external source, can be used. (The width of the pulse is fixed and varies with the model.) Due to power dissipation limits, each model has a maximum specified pulse frequency. Specifically: - The PCO-7810-40-4 can output pulses up to 40 A at rates up to 200 kHz, but it requires forced air cooling above 100 kHz. - The PCO-7810-50-12 can output pulses up to 50 A at rates up to 67 kHz, but it requires forced air cooling above 25 kHz. - The PCO-7810-90-8 can output pulses up to 90 A at rates up to 25 kHz, but it requires forced air cooling above 10 kHz. #### External Trigger To use an external trigger source, set rotary switch SW2 to position 1 and feed the trigger pulses into pin 1 of DE-9 connector P1. #### Internal Trigger The internal trigger source consists of a variable-frequency RC oscillator driving a frequency divider IC. There are three user frequency adjustments: Rotary switch SW2 chooses the frequency divider ratio; two-pole dipswitch SW1 lowers the frequency of the oscillator by adding capacitance; and pot R11 does the fine adjustment. This arrangement provides a very wide range of pulse frequencies. You can use an oscilloscope to examine the trigger pulses at test point E2, located near SW2. Choose a coarse frequency range by setting SW2 to a position from 2 to 9 (see chart). If needed, set one or both poles of SW1 to the ON position to reduce the frequency. Set the exact frequency with R11. The following table summarizes the functions of SW2. | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Position | Frequency Range | | 1 | External Trigger | | 2 | 15 Hz to 60 Hz | | 3 | 50 Hz to 240 Hz | | 4 | 200 Hz to 985 Hz | | 5 | 775 Hz to 3.8 kHz | | 6 | 3.5 kHz to 15 kHz | | 7 | 13 kHz to 63 kHz | | 8 | 25 kHz to 126 kHz | | 9 | 50 kHz to 249 kHz | | 0 | Internal source OFF | Thanks for reading!

There is no rise/fall… Technical Note ## How Do I Slow the Rise Time of My Voltage Pulser?  The PVX series of high voltage pulsers is designed to drive small capacitive loads quickly. There is no rise/fall time adjustment, so if the rise time at the load is too fast for a particular application, a seemingly quick fix might be to place a capacitor across the pulser’s output. However, if we slow down the edges this way, we must be careful to not exceed the pulser’s average power dissipation limit. #### The PVX-4110’s Maximum Dissipation Capability Take the PVX-4110, for example. The maximum dissipation capability shown in the datasheet is 100 W. When driving a capacitive load, power dissipation is found by: #### P = C • V2 • F where C is the total capacitance of the load, the cable, and the pulser’s output circuit in farads; V is the pulse voltage; and F is the repetition rate in pulses per second. The PVX-4110’s internal capacitance is 50 pF, and the capacitance of RG-11 coax is 21.5 pF per foot. At maximum voltage (10000 V) and repetition rate (10 kHz), we can’t add much capacitance to the output because we reach the maximum dissipation quickly. A total capacitance of 100 pF takes us to the limit: #### P = (1 x 10 -10 )(1 x 10 8 )(1 x 10 4 ) = 100 W To use this approach, we’d have to lower the voltage or the repetition rate to accommodate more output capacitance. A better approach may be to create an RC delay by placing an external resistance between the pulser output and the capacitive load. The rise time at the load will be about three time constants, or 3RC. (R is the series resistance and C is the capacitance of the load plus the cable.) As an example, assume we want a rise time of 200 ns. The load has a capacitance of 10 pF and it’s connected via 6 feet of coaxial cable at 21.5 pF per foot. The total capacitance is then 10 + (6 x 21.5) = 139 pF. If 3RC = 200 ns, then: #### R = 200 ns/3C = (2 x 10 -7 )/(3 x 1.39 x 10 -10 ) = 480 ohms A 500 ohm resistor would provide a rise time of about 208 ns. #### Choosing the Resistor However, care should be taken in choosing the resistor. The resistor must be capable of dissipating sufficient power and may have to be enclosed for safety as well as cooled with a fan. But ordinary power resistors may still burn up easily in this kind of application. Does that always mean a higher wattage resistor is needed? Not necessarily – it may be a high voltage issue instead of a high power issue. Very few common resistors can handle thousands of volts; most are rated at 100 V to 350 V. If the load device breaks over or conducts at some point, the voltage across it goes to zero and the entire pulse voltage appears across the resistor. It would not be surprising for a non-high-voltage-rated resistor to burn or crack under those conditions. Also, avoid wirewound resistors unless they are noninductive; the inductance can cause a high voltage to appear across the resistor due to V = L • di/dt. The di/dt term can become quite large during pulse edges! You can create a high voltage resistor by connecting multiple low voltage resistors in series. This technique is often used in high voltage products. For example, ten 50 ohm resistors in series is equivalent to a single 500 ohm resistor and withstands ten times the voltage. When dealing with very high voltages, be sure to allow enough space between the resistors to avoid arcing.

In the following article the proper current measurement technique will be explained. In this demonstration the PCO-7114-50-4 will be used and will be tested into a shorted load. The current monitor cable is a PCA-9140 and can be purchased from Directed Energy Inc. The following picture is the PCA-9140 current monitor cable. The PCO-7114 50-4 is a 50 A 4 ns fixed pulse width laser diode driver that has a pulse frequency of up to 650 kHz depending on the output current. The output current can be adjusted by changing the input high voltage. The picture above shows the PCO-7114 50-4 module. To measure the current, first locate J2, the current monitor connector. The positive pin (center connector of the coax cable) is to the left and is where the series 50Ω resistor on the PCA-9140 current monitor cable is located. In the following picture you can see this cable connected to J2. The next step is to connect the cable to the oscilloscope. You will need to make sure the oscilloscope input is terminated into 50Ω. Most oscilloscopes have this option built in, but if yours does not, you will need a 50Ω termination connector. The next step will be to set the oscilloscope’s horizontal and vertical scales to properly see the current pulse. In this demonstration the settings are horizontal at 4 ns per division and vertical at 500 mV per division. The scaling for the PCO-7114 50-4 is 500 mV per 10 A. The oscilloscope being used is a Tektronix DPO 4102B-L with 1 GHz bandwidth. The next step is to pulse the load and monitor the output current. In the next picture the complete setup is shown. The next two pictures show the current waveform measured on the oscilloscope. The first one is at 25 A peak with a 3.1 ns pulse width. The second is at 50 A peak with a 3.1 ns pulse width. In both examples the pulse width is measured at Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM).

Support 26 answers on high voltage pulsers, pulsed laser diode drivers, and the pulsed power fundamentals behind both. Every question is also findable from the search box in the header. Shared with Berkeley Nucleonics. These answers are shared with the Pulsed Power section of the Berkeley Nucleonics FAQ. When one changes, change the other. [See the Pulsed Power section there](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/faq.html#cat-pulsed-power). ### High Voltage Pulsers What is the difference between the PVX-4141 and PVX-4141B? The PVX-4141 and PVX-4141B are functionally identical high-voltage pulsers. The B suffix denotes a chassis or packaging revision, not a change in electrical design or switching performance. A unit ordered today ships as the current revision, and both carry the same output ratings. What is the difference between the PVX-4140 and the PVX-4141? The PVX-4140 and PVX-4141 are functionally equivalent, sharing the same electrical specifications and switching performance. The difference is mechanical: the PVX-4141 uses an updated chassis design. Either model delivers the same output for the same application. Do all PVX high-voltage pulsers require an external power supply? Almost all PVX Series pulsers require an external high-voltage power supply, which sets the amplitude of the output pulse. The one exception is the PVX-4000-2kV-Int, which has an integrated internal high-voltage source and does not need a separate supply. Do PVX high-voltage pulsers have CE or UL certification? The PVX-4000 series carries CE certification. Most other PVX models do not currently carry CE, UL, or other regulatory markings. If a project requires a specific certification, confirm the status for the exact model before ordering, since markings can vary by configuration (verify). Can the PVX Series be controlled with LabVIEW? The PVX Series has no native LabVIEW drivers, but it can be controlled indirectly through LabVIEW by automating the external power supply and pulse generator that drive it. Since the PVX takes its high-voltage input and trigger timing from those external instruments, programming them in LabVIEW gives you full control over the pulse output. What cables and connectors are included with the PVX-4110? The PVX-4110 ships with three high-voltage cables (part number 6050-0061) and one 6-foot AC power cord (part number 1950-0002). These cables connect the pulser to its external high-voltage supply and the load, so the unit is ready to wire into a test setup on arrival. Does the PVX-4130 come with a calibration certificate? The PVX-4130 ships with a checkout sheet documenting functional verification testing. A formal calibration certificate can be requested at the time of new-unit purchase at no additional charge. Ask for it on the order so it ships with the instrument. Does a new PVX unit include an accessory kit? Yes. Every new PVX high-voltage pulser ships with a standard accessory kit at no additional cost, containing the cables and connectors needed for initial setup. The exact contents depend on the model, so check the datasheet or packing list for the specific unit. Is the 24 VDC power supply included with the PVM-4210? No. The PVM-4210 does not include a 24 VDC power supply. The module draws its support power from an external 24 VDC to 28 VDC source, which must be purchased separately and sized for the module's current draw. ### Laser Diode Drivers What does a laser diode driver do? A laser diode driver is an electronic instrument that precisely controls the current delivered to a laser diode, enabling stable, repeatable, and safe optical output. Because laser diodes are sensitive to overcurrent and transients, the driver also protects the diode from spikes that could damage or destroy it. Is the pulse width adjustable on Berkeley Nucleonics laser diode drivers? Yes. Most BNC pulsed laser diode drivers offer adjustable pulse width, with continuously variable options that typically range from nanoseconds to microseconds depending on the model. The exact range and minimum pulse width vary by driver, so check the datasheet for the specific unit. What is the maximum output voltage of the PCX-7500-EX? The PCX-7500-EX pulsed laser diode driver has a maximum compliance voltage of 110V, which suits driving laser diode arrays and high-compliance-voltage diodes. The 110V headroom lets the driver deliver its rated current into loads that need more than a single junction's forward voltage. Is the PCX-7500 laser diode driver still available? Yes. The PCX-7500 remains available as a specialized high-current driver produced in limited builds. Lead times may vary with component availability, so request a current quote and delivery estimate when planning a purchase. Why buy a PCX-7401 or PCX-7421 instead of building a custom laser diode driver? Building a custom driver demands significant expertise, and a single design error can destroy expensive laser diodes. The PCX-7401 and PCX-7421 are professionally engineered, tested, and calibrated, with current regulation and protection already proven in hardware. That saves development time and removes the risk of damaging costly diodes during bring-up. What is the minimum order quantity for the PCO Series? There is a standard minimum order quantity for standalone laser diode driver modules, with flexibility when they are bundled with other equipment. Contact us with your quantity and application and we will confirm what applies to your order. ### Pulsed Power Fundamentals What is pulsed power and how does it differ from continuous power delivery? Pulsed power delivers high-energy electrical pulses over very short durations, from nanoseconds to microseconds. This produces instantaneous peak power levels far above what continuous systems can reach, while keeping average power low. The energy is stored, then released in a brief burst, which is why pulsed systems can drive loads that steady-state supplies cannot. What types of loads can BNC pulsed power systems drive? BNC pulsed power systems drive resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, including laser diodes, Pockels cells, plasma chambers, solenoids, and spark gap electrodes. The right model depends on the load's voltage, current, and timing requirements, since each load type stresses the driver differently. What are the key safety considerations when operating high-voltage pulsed power equipment? Key precautions include using properly rated cabling and connectors, training personnel on lockout and tagout procedures, maintaining safe clearance distances, and never working alone. Stored energy in capacitors can remain dangerous after power is removed, so always discharge and verify before touching any connection. Can BNC pulse delay generators be used to drive pulsed power loads? A pulse delay generator does not drive the load directly. Instead, units such as the Model 577 supply the precise trigger and gate timing that tells a high-voltage pulser when to fire. The pulsed power unit then delivers the actual high-current or high-voltage output to the load. Pairing the two gives you accurate timing control over the pulse. Can pulsed power and delay generator products be used together in the same test system? Yes. They are often integrated in the same setup, with digital delay generators providing precise timing control and DEI high-voltage units delivering the actual high-current or high-voltage output. The delay generator triggers the pulser at the right moment, which lets you synchronize the high-voltage pulse with other events in the test. Can multiple DC power supplies be combined to achieve higher voltage or current? It depends on the model and its output topology. Some supplies support series connection for higher voltage or parallel connection for higher current, but not every model is designed for stacking. Combining supplies safely requires matched units and correct isolation, so confirm the configuration with Berkeley Nucleonics before wiring them together. ### Service, Ordering and Contact Does Berkeley Nucleonics offer service agreements for pulsed power products? Yes. Berkeley Nucleonics offers service agreements for many pulsed power products, depending on the instrument and its value. Coverage can include calibration, preventive maintenance, and repair.
