PDD-1000 pulsed diode driver
User manual
Warning! This equipment may be dangerous.
Please read user manual before starting operations.
Important note. Please measure output with adequate load only (diodes). Resistive load
connected to the output won’t destroy the driver, but will severe distort its behaviour.
Overview / Applications
PDD-1000 is a series of high-power pulsed diode drivers. Peak output power is up
to 10kW (with user selectable IMAX and VMAX), averaged output power is up to
1000W.
Driver was specially designed for direct diode hair removal application. As a result
the input voltage is DC (supposing the driver is powered from the buffer capacitor
battery included in system). Such the composition also allows to have both flashlamp
and diode applicators in the same hair removal system simultaneously.
Cooling
The module contains fans for active cooling. No additional cooling is required.
Appearance
Connections, signals, signal description
+24V DC INPUT: Molex MiniFit MF-2F type
Feeds interface circuits of PDD-1000 with +24V DC voltage.
Maximum current consumption is 1A.
PIN (color) DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION
1 (red) +24V DC +24V DC positive
2 (black) RETURN +24V DC negative
INTERFACE: Molex C-Grid type
PIN (color) DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION
1 (black) PULSE 1 RETURN Return of Pulse 1 signal
+5V TTL pulse should be applied to pin 2
and to pin 3 simultaneously in order to
obtain pulsed current from PDD-1000.
2 (yellow) PULSE 2 In cases if 0V is applied to one of these
pins or at least one of these pins is
unconnected, there will be no current from
PDD-1000.
+5V TTL pulse should be applied to pin 2
and to pin 3 simultaneously in order to
obtain pulsed current from PDD-1000.
3 (yellow) PULSE 1 In cases if 0V is applied to one of these
pins or at least one of these pins is
unconnected, there will be no current from
PDD-1000.
4 (black) PULSE 2 RETURN Return of Pulse 2 signal
ENABLE
5 (white) Return of Enable signal
RETURN
INTERFACE Return of other Interface signals (namely
6 (violet)
RETURN Fault, Current program and +15V DC)
+5V DC applied to this pin enable PDD.
While 0V is applied to this pin or pin is
unconnected, module is disabled.
7 (red) ENABLE
Once Fault has occurred module is
blocked till you eliminate fault cause, then
disable module and enable it again.
+15V DC
Auxiliary +15V DC output.
8 (orange) AUXILIARY
Maximum output current 50mA.
OUTPUT
If module is enabled and some trouble has
occurred, module automatically stops
operations and sets Fault status (Fault
loop is “closed”).
In case of normal operations Fault loop is
9 (blue-white) FAULT “opened”.
Maximum allowed current in Fault loop is
50mA.
At now Fault can be caused by
overheating only
Voltage applied to this pin sets output
CURRENT current.

PROGRAM
0-10V DC are linear with 0-IMAX.
DC POWER INPUT: Molex Minifit MF-6F type
6 5 4
3 2 1
The connector provides PDD-1000 diode driver with power from buffer capacitor bank.
All six pins must be used when driver is operated at maximum power.
PIN (color) DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION
1,2,3 (red) DC POWER Capacitor bank positive
4,5,6 (black) RETURN Capacitor bank negative
OUTPUT POSITIVE AND OUTPUT NEGATIVE: M6 studs
PIN (color) DESCRIPTION
DIODE “+” (red) To laser diode anode
DIODE “–” (blue) To laser diode cathode
GROUND: M5 stud
Module should be grounded using this stud.
Grounding should be done before powering the system.
Grounding policy
By default OUTPUT POSITIVE, OUTPUT NEGATIVE and INTERFACE RETURN and
isolated from the chassis’ ground
(i.e. output and interface are floating).
Modifications with grounded anode or grounded cathode
are available upon request.
Operations notes
1. The proper sequence of driver's start up procedure is 'power -> enable -> pulse'. Other
sequences are considered as incorrect
2. When driver is powered but disabled, fans rotate slowly;
once driver is enabled, fans will accelerate to a higher speed
3. Fault state is set when fault condition is met AND driver is enabled
4. To remove fault state one should disable driver and enable it again
