I've been working on a driver for the newer
high current diodes. It is a less
expensive linear driver geared more towards
lab-style builds. It originally grew out
of an experimental 3.5W NDB7A75 driver for
a laser router project. The maximum
current is 15A, limited mostly by the size
of your heatsink. Some features include an
adjustment pot and soft start for driving
more sensitive diodes. The polarity is
continuous positive.
Specifications:
2.4 - 15V
1.0 - 15A
9-turn pot or single versions
TO-220 mount for super-effective heatsinking
Continuous positive
UPDATE:
The test results are in.
See the last post in this thread for details.
