ACS4500BU 4.5A (Buck) Laser Diode Driver
This unit has a slightly smaller profile for easier fit in the hollow back of a 12mm module housing when being used for under 2.5A settings connected directly to the diode pins if that is the goal. Higher currents require heatsinking and then not much difference between this and the 5500 model except this can only do 4.5A and the 5500 can do 5.5A.ACS4500BU - the next generation of compact buck drivers that came to replace the BlackBuck 3 and BlackBuck 6 ones. Designed to power laser diodes or LEDs from batteries or other power sources.Major improvements and differences from BlackBuck 3/6 drivers:Extended range of output current adjustmentHigh-side designImproved soft-startCeramic fuse for reverse polarity protectionLarger potentiometerThermal areas on the back side for better heat dissipationSpecifications:Supply voltage ........................ 6...14VOutput current (+/- 5%) .................... 0...4800mALoad forward voltage.............. 1.5...6V **Power ON rising time ............
