Re: X-Boost V7 Mini (10mmx12mm) 1.8A Laser Driver
Hey Thanks Guys. Glad you Like it.:wave:
AnthoT@ You and those damn pots. Thank God i have the option to take it off since i hate them.:na:
Spyderz20x6@ No it does not have reverse polarity. It takes up more space and i was going for size with this then every feature.
It is not continuous GND. Why would It need to be.? What diode would you use this driver with that would need continuous ground. The only diodes that needs a continuous GND driver are 660nm diodes that use there Case pin. I have not come across any other diode that would need a boost drive that is continuous GND. If you need continuous ground you most likely would be looking for a Buck/Boost driver since you would most likely be bucking the voltage down for a Red diode.
HaloBlu@ Not sure if you understand what the common issue is with these kind of chips when re flowing them. The problem is not that they Move out of place,that rarely happens. The problem is with these chips is you get alot of Bridges under the chip where you cant see. You must get the solder just right and even if you do your never sure. Most of the time its between the center heatsink GND pad and one of the Pins. Iam waiting for some New Board to come in which i tried something new for the center pad that might work and help.
Ive got pretty damn good at these chips but i want to be able to do more at once then 1 chip at a time.
Cif@
laserluke@ Thanks Luke.
skyray@ I have no price in mind yet But the should be No more then $15-$20
As another Note I just tried the other night and you can dual these up.:wave: I was pretty happy to find this out. I was about to test up to 2.4A down to 3.5v before my 5A supply could not supply anymore power. It really cuts off at ~4.6A. Iam think these can be dueled up way higher then this down to 3.6v. But iam going to need to find a 10A supply to test that.
Here is a couple pictures of my round Personal X-Boost V7 Original that are rated up to 2.5A. IC Max is 3A.
This is my 21mm board size. I also have them in 15mm,16.8mm,17mm,20mm,32mm and so on......
This is the Original X-Boost which is More powerful then the Mini and is what goes in my laser builds i sell.
