ACS5500BU 5.5A (Buck) Laser Diode Driver
ACS5500BU - the next generation of compact buck drivers that came to replace the BlackBuck 3 and BlackBuck 6. Designed to power laser diodes or LEDs from batteries or other power sources.
Major improvements and differences from BlackBuck 3/6 drivers:
Extended range of output current adjustment
High-side design
Improved soft-start
Ceramic fuse for reverse polarity protection
Larger potentiometer
Thermal areas on the back side for better heat dissipation
