PCB-driver-41
rev 1.2 22.04.2015
Description
PCB-driver-41 driver is designed as power supply of Mid-IR LEDs. It provides pulse mode operation,
which can be adjusted by jumpers (different values of current, frequency and pulse duration can be
triggered).
A synchronization input terminal block allows synchronizing the driver with an external device, with two
or more drivers simultaneously, or setting custom frequency of the LED
A synchronization output terminal block gives the possibility of synchronization with an external device.
In case of circuit brake, a safety system for prevention of LED damage is included.
Features
• Pulse mode operation (for maximum peak optical power)
• Adjustment of LED current amplitude, frequency and pulse duration via driver’s jumpers
• Synchronization input terminal block which allows:
- synchronizing driver with an external device (synchronous detector etc.)
- synchronizing two or more drivers simultaneously
- setting custom frequency of the LED signal
• Possibility of synchronization with an external device with the help of synchronization output
terminal block.
• Safety system for prevention of LED damage in case of circuit brake

Operating Mode Description
PCB-driver-41 driver works in a pulse mode. This mode provides LED maximum peak optical power.
LED current can be changed switching the jumper 7 (0.2; 0.6; 1.0; 1.5 and 1.9 A).
Pulse duration can be changed using the jumper 5 (2; 5; 10 and 20 µs).
Frequency of an LED can be adjusted using the jumper 6 (512 Hz, 2 kHz, 8 kHz or 16 kHz). Frequency
can be also adjusted by an external signal source connected via synchronization input.

0.2-2.0 А
Note! When external signal source is connected to the synchronization input, frequency of an LED is
determined by this source and NOT by the jumper. External signal should meet the following
requirements:

Operating Instruction
1. Carefully connect appropriate pins of the LED with LED connection terminal block (4) till tight fixation.

Note! Terminal block header marked with “LED +” must be connected to the appropriate pin of an
LED (marked with a red point). Improper connection may cause LED damage.
Note! LED case must be electrically isolated from the ground.
2. Connect driver’s synchronization output terminal block (9) with synchronisation input of
PCB-sdetect-3P synchronous detector or other synchronisation device.

3. (Optional) Connect an external signal generating device with synchronization input (10). External
signal should meet the requirements presented on the page 3.

4. Select required regime using pulse duration, frequency and LED current adjustment jumpers (5, 6 and
7 respectively). In case of using an external signal source, frequency will be adjusted via the source.
5. Check that the circuit break safety system is turned on – jumper (8) should be put on.
6. Connect a power supply to the power input (1). LED current indicator (green) (3) will be turned on if
everything is connected properly. In case of circuit break red indicator (2) will be turned on and LED
current indicator (3) will be pulsing till the problem will be solved.
Note! Circuit break safety system triggers when operation voltage exceeds 2.5V. Subsequently, the
system may turn on in case of using of LED models with high voltage values (some LEDs with
peak wavelengths at 1.6-2.4 µm) despite proper connection. If the problem occurs take the
following steps:
• make sure that voltage of an LED is more than 2.5 V at chosen working current, referring to the
appropriate LED current-voltage characteristic pointed in the technical report.
• check that all the connections are proper and secure.
• put off the jumper (8) to disable the safety system.
7. Make all the connections of other boards (synchronous detector, thermocontroller etc.) following the
appropriate instructions manuals. Before turning them on, check the required connections and modes:
Driver:
• LED connection
• Synchronisation with sync. detector
• Pulse duration, frequency, current selection
• External connections (if necessary)
Thermocontroller:
• Thermistor / PCB-driver-51 temperature
observation block input connection
• Thermocooler output connection
• External connections (if necessary)
Note! Please follow the requirements presented in the table of “Main Characteristics” and
“Adjustable Parameters” to provide driver’s faultless operation.
