1. Features
Low current ripple
No need to adjust voltage
Soft-start
Adjustable overcurrent limit
Thermal warning and shutdown
Reverse current protection
Crowbar circuit protection
Universal controls
NTC thermistor input
Own software
2. Applications
Supplying laser diodes, bars and arrays
Supplying high power LED arrays
3. Description
The SF6100 is a non isolated DC/DC SMPS
(POL) with constant current output. Driver
produces high stability and low ripple
current. Protection features include an over
current protection with adjustable limit, soft-
start, thermal warning and shutdown,
reverse current protection and crowbar
circuit protection. This means the SF6100 can
safely drive non linear and current quality
sensitive loads like laser diodes and LEDs.
The driver can be controlled by analogue
or digital signals.
SF6100 is available in thermal enhanced
half-brick package with aluminum base plate
to aid thermal dissipation. Driver can be
mounted on any thermal conductive surface
enough to dissipate driver losses.

*Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-
rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

8. Power supply requirements
The driver requires a DC power supply with line regulation ± 1%. The power supply must be able to
cover the driver output power and losses. The power supply voltage must be at least 27% higher than
the voltage drop of your laser diode. Recommended power supply: Mean well SE-1000-48.
ATTENTION! Do not use any relay between power supply and driver. When using a relay, voltage surges
may occur and driver may fail.

12. Pin and terminal functions
Please, note polarity!
Never ground any lead of the output,
this may cause permanent damage to the laser diode and the driver!
Never use any grounded probes (e.g. from the oscilloscope) at the output!
Control pins are not isolated!
Terminals
Please, pay attention to the markings!
Terminal
Description
Vin+
Connect to the positive terminal of
the power supply.
Please, note polarity!
Vin-
Connect to the negative terminal of
the power supply.
Please, note polarity!
LD+
Connect to the laser diode anode.
Please note polarity!
Grounding this terminal may cause
permanent damage to the driver.
