NBD-0505-PWM discharge circuit

NBD-0505-PWM is a discharge circuit with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology implemented. It forms on the flashlamp true-rectangular pulses with the characteristics as below:

  • Flashlamp voltage - up to 500 V
  • Flashlamp current - up to 500 A
  • Pulse width - from 1 ms to 100 ms
  • Max. average power - 2 kW

Module includes embedded inductance coil (80uH) and small capacitor bank (2mF/800V) as well as simmering and triggering circuits.

Free-discharge functionality with 800V/800A characteristics is also available either as a separate output (by default) or as an operating regime (on request).

NBD-0505-PWM discharge circuit is designed for use in high power IPL and long pulse Nd:YAG, KTP, Alexandrite laser systems. Module forms flashlamp pulses of rectangular or quasi-rectangular shape using the energy stored in external capacitors bank. Module includes IGBT, its driver, protective circuits, simmering and triggering circuits, discharge resistors and controls.

The unique feature is advanced current control (PWM), which makes true rectangular pulses possible (see picture below for a typical waveform).

Let us emphase, NBD-0505-PWM is not a stand-alone solution. For proper operations it requires capacitor charging power supply and capacitor bank as well as some minor parts and controls (see also the picture below).
