ColorDRIVE 6

ColorDRIVE is a high performance laser diode driver with integrated TEC driver.

ColorDRIVE is designed to be efficient and versatile. It supports a high operation voltage and offers stable, and fast regulation in a small, easy to integrate form factor.

It offers 720W maximum output power for laser diodes and 240W for TECs. The TEC power can be extended up to 1200W with the use of our TEC booster technology. TEC boosters enable to drive up to 48V @ 25A TECs with minimal cost and maximum efficiency.

A temperature good output (power reduction) enables an easy integration of the driver in any system. It gives you the possibility to check if the TEC driver has reached the desired temperature e.g., if everything is working as it should.

The driver also features a NTC sensor error detection.

The drivers are fully compatible with our ColorBUS system. ColorBUS makes it possible to connect everything in a tidy way and furthermore uses the power reduction (PR) output (temp ok) to command a reduced drive current from our ColorDRIVEs to protect the laser diodes if a TEC should fail.
