Driver Schematics

[mophead]

Could anyone help me with some analog driver schematics (TEC drive would be really sweet as well)? Drlava is out of his flex1's for the moment and i have some diodes begging to be fired up.

I have no problem following a schematic nor any problem making a board or two (SMT fine too). I just have *no idea* on circuit design.

Any help or advise? I'd much appreciate it.

Hey Doug

Have a look on the FTP, I think there is one on there

It doesn't do TEC though

I posted one a while ago in here, do a search and it should come up. Also the FlexMods will be available again pretty soon now

die4laser.com has the die4drive schematic. It doesn't have tec control, though. If you want a tec cooled laser driver go to chans web page. He has plans for a laser driver with microprocessor controlled tec cooling. It's probably overkill but it seems cool.

Here is the Chan schematic, it is based on an Atmel mcu.

We should start a separate TEC-thread and get something tested and working, it seems that a lot of people are looking for TEC's.
They have a lot of good stuff at laserfreak but I'm not that good at german to get all the details.


I'll collect some TEC-info and start a thread soon.
