And i thought the Flex drive was small!

NVG, Inc. -Laser Diode Driver Circuit - Automatic Power Control APC this looks to be a bit smaller than the V5 flex

Looks interesting... really small.

If I had my tools up here, I'd order one and try it out...

Yeah... it's small but is is not a Boost LD Driver like the FlexDrive...
That is an Automatic Power Control circuit... it uses feedback from
a Photo diode in the Laser Diode to control the current to the LD...

What bothers me is the company's name NVG (Not Very Good)...:thinking:

It's so cute though.:crackup::crackup:

 

[silvercookie]

holy crap.
i wonder what the quality is like.

 

[creanzworld17]

It looks high quality..only 30 bucks too..i think

 

[lasersbee]

Don't forget you will need a Laser Diode that contains a Photo Diode
so the feedback circuit can maintain a constant output...

Uh am I incorrect in assuming that this is only capable of producing like less than 200ma?

Kenom;Uh am I incorrect in assuming that this is only capable of producing like less than 200ma?

It states, Supplied current 200mA2 (Squared?):wtf:
The specs. page won't open for me.
200mA sounds low for such a high tech. driver. Also states "will drive up to 1w diode"
Will drive, means to me, up to that level.
