Vektrex customizes systems for client needs using SpikeSafe modules as the foundation. SpikeSafe modules are precision pulsing current sources that form a reliable, high-quality foundation for LED and laser diode test systems. Each SpikeSafe module features
- 1 or more channels (or current sources)
- Maximum compliance voltages from 10V to 400V
- Maximum currents of 500mA to 40A
- Protection algorithms and circuitry that detect voltage and current anomalies rapidly shutting down power preserving devices
- Precise accurate current regulation within 0.2% typical
- Energy saving design with 1-2 year return on investment, based upon electricity savings
- Models available to support DC only and DC/Pulse mode testing
Designed on a modular concept, Vektrex provides systems of SpikeSafe modules. Up to 256 channels of current sources may be integrated into a standard 19″ rack. The STARS (SpikeSafe Test And Reliability Software) application enables operator control of the voltage and current on a per channel basis. Tuning of the SpikeSafe systems to your devices is also handled through the STARS application.
