    Abstract

    Aiming to meet the actual demand of airborne 130 mJ laser director, a pulsed driver with for LDA with the characteristics of high reliability, wide work temperature range and miniaturization is designed. A overall scheme is a combination of energy storage unit with ultra-low equivalent series resistance, low power preceding stage charging circuit and backward stage discharging circuit with high power. In detailed circuits design, reverse direction protection and slow start circuits adopt a way with double PMOS. BOOST charging circuits’ controlling IC is CYT5022JVS with the characteristics of adjustable switching frequency and cycle-by-cycle current limit. Energy unit includes some shunt-wound Polymer solid lithium electrolytic capacitors with ultra-low equivalent serial resistance (ESR). To reduce heating power, discharge circuits’ switching tubes employ two IRF150P220s in parallel with on -resistance 2.3 mΩ. In order to adapt wide temperature range, charging voltage need to compensate because of capacitance change in high and low temperature. Tests show that pulsed driver can output a pulsed current with 160A peak value, 230 μs pulse width and 25 Hz frequency. The airborne laser director driven by this pulsed driver can output 130 mJ average pulsed energy, which can satisfy the needs of airborne optoelectronic system.
