Features


  • Designed for Laser Systems: The NBU-1112 discharge circuit is crafted to simplify the development of solid-state laser systems by forming quasi-rectangular pulses on a flashlamp using energy stored in an external capacitor bank.

  • Comprehensive Module: Includes IGBT, its driver, protective circuits, simmer and trigger circuits, and controls, but requires external discharge resistors and a capacitor charging power supply.

  • Flexible Triggering Options: Supports both serial and external triggering, with options for simplified or complex modifications available upon request.

  • Safety: Features a distinct separation between low and high voltage parts with 24V power input and interface circuits isolated by a 4mm creepage distance and solid insulation to 2500VAC test voltage.

  • Pulse Parameters: Maximum voltage of 800V (up to 1000V on request), max discharge current of 1000A for pulse width < 1ms, and max average power of 2000W.

  • Recommended Wiring: For capacitor bank and flashlamp connections, use FLEXI-2V or similar rated for >1000V voltage and >4mm2 cross-section.

  • Simmer Parameters: Offers a simmer current of 400mA (adjustable between 200-500mA) with a max output voltage of 300V and max output power of 100W.

  • Flashlamp Triggering: Trigger pulse width of ~1us and restrike rate automatically adjusted to a few Hertz.

  • External Triggering: Pulse energy of ~20mJ with a trigger voltage of 350V positive, requiring an external transformer like the recommended ZS1324-24V LUL1(H) by Excelitas Technologies.

  • Serial Triggering: Pulse energy of ~160mJ with a trigger voltage of 10kV negative, featuring an integrated transformer.
