Recently, Analog Technologies, Inc, hereinafter referred to as ATI, developed a multifunctional Piezo driver ATPD300V2A. Piezo is a micro-displacement device based on the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramic. However, due to the disadvantages of piezoelectric ceramics, such as hysteresis, creep and displacement nonlinearity, the displacement output is related to the electric field strength and the input voltage. The use of piezo drive for solid deformation requires high precision, fast response, good stopping capability, low power consumption, no electromagnetic noise, small size, high density configuration, simple structure, etc. This multifunctional and highly integrated Piezo driver module is ideal for realizing control functions.(more)

ATLSXA201D is a high efficiency constant current laser driver module. There are 6 laser drivers in this series, of which the largest current one can drive 6A diode lasers. The “xA” in the model represents the maximum output current of the laser driver module, which can be: 500mA, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 6A respectively. The ATLSxA201D series diode laser drivers are the upgraded alternative to the CWD-01-V2 laser drivers with shorter start-up times. This series laser driver modules feature low noise, high stability, zero EMI and small package. The following is the block diagram of ATLSxA201D.(more)

Capacitor is a general component in the field of electronics. There is no denying that no one experiment can be done successfully without using capacitors. Now that capacitor is so common used, how engineers can pick the specific values they want in a quick way. Therefore, to help electronic engineers save time becomes an important problem, and Analog Technologies, Incorporated puts great efforts into developing some kind of box for storing generally used electronic components.(more)

When mentioning high voltage power supply, I can think of the inverter immediately. What is the difference between the high voltage power supply and the inverter? High voltage power supply generally refers to DC high voltage power supply that can output voltages above 1kV. There are two types, DC-DC and AC-DC.(more)

Piezoelectric materials are crystalline materials that generate a voltage at the both ends when pressure is applied to them to deform the surface; the most important characteristic is the piezoelectric effect, including the piezoelectric effect and the inverse piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric effect refers to the application of a force to the piezoelectric material for deforming the surface of the piezoelectric material, thus forming charges at both ends of the piezoelectric material. The inverse piezoelectric effect means that when an electric field is applied to the piezoelectric material, the piezoelectric material will generate mechanical deformation or movement in a certain direction, and when the applied electric field is removed, the deformation also disappears.(more)

With the rapid development of science and technology, semiconductor laser technology has penetrated into various fields of national economy and national defense construction. It has a wide range of applications in the long-range communications, laser radar, digital signal storage and recovery, laser ranging, robotics, holographic applications, medical diagnosis and so on. However, semiconductor lasers are harsh on working conditions and can result in a drastic deterioration or failure of performance under improper working or storage conditions. Therefore, it is very important to make the laser work normally.(more)

Recently, we designed a high voltage 15A Laser driver with small size, ATLS15A218. It has both a wide input voltage range from 5.5V to 27V and a wide output voltage range from 0.1VVPS to 0.8VVPS. At the same time, it allows driving one or more laser diodes and its current can be as high as 15A. There is no need for heat sink with high efficiency. The output noise is low. It has a very small package with a 6 sided metal enclosure to prevent the controller and other electronics from interfering with each other. It’s very difficult to meet the above characteristics for laser driver at the same time.(more)

Since 1880 that the Curie brothers discovered the piezoelectric effect of tourmaline, it has been well studied and widely used in various fields for nearly 140 years. Piezoelectric ceramics is the most typical representative.(more)

Peltier cooler is also called the thermoelectric cooler, and its principle is the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric coolers can generate both heating and cooling thermal power when applying an electric DC current at different directions. The current direction determines cooling or heating. The current magnitude determines the effect of cooling or heating. A peltier controller is a must for controlling the peltier cooler automatically. The PID control system comes with high precision, which can be used to control the current of peltier controller for achieving high precision temperature control effect.(more)
