EPC9172 – 80 V, 15 A High Current Pulsed Laser Diode Driver Featuring EPC21701
The EPC9172 reference design is primarily intended to drive laser diodes with short, high current pulses.
Capabilities include minimum pulse widths of <2.5 ns, peak currents> 15 A, and bus voltage rating of 60 V.
The EPC9172 features the EPC21701 eToF™ laser
driver IC.
The EPC9172 ships with the EPC9989 interposer board which is a collection of break-away 5 mm x 5 mm square
interposer PCBs with footprints for different lasers, RF connectors, and a collection of other footprints
designed for experimentation with different loads. The use of the interposers allows many different lasers
or other loads to be mounted on the EPC9172. Laser diode or other loads are not included and must be
supplied by the user.
