Customer Remarks

“Nuvation has been a select member of our Certified Design Center program for several years, as well as a design services vendor to Altera. We have been consistently impressed with the caliber of their organization, the time-to-market acceleration that they enable, and their strong track record across our broad customer base.”
-- Altera

"Nuvation has been a long standing Xilinx XPERT partner and consistently delivers leading edge designs and rapid design cycles for our OEM customers.”
-- Xilinx

"Nuvation recently helped us to complete a complex design. The combination of Nuvations design experience with FPGA's and our engineering and design expertise with Analog-to-Digital Converters created a very useful test and characterization solution for one of our new series of data converters. It is fun working with Nuvation. They met all expectations."
-- Texas Instruments

Sequoia: Diode Laser and Dual TEC Controller

Features | TEC Control | Laser Diode Control |Contact |


Description

The Low-Power Laser Controller Board is a fully integrated, solid-state laser controller designed to drive two thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and a laser diode.

It provides constant-current and constant optical power laser control, programmable start-up sequence and monitoring, 5-LED status indicator, safety interlock and keyswitch.

The next-generation Sequoia II features an RS-232 digital command interface and a miniaturized form-factor.
