Quantum Devices, is proud to announce its newly formed alliance with OPTOLAB Microsystems GmbH of Erfurt, Germany. QDI will serve as the sole distributor of OPTOLAB Microsystems products for North America.

Quantum Devices and OPTOLAB Microsystems have both acquired a long term, sterling reputation for producing customer specific optoelectric systems and assemblies. OPTOLAB's engineering team has been responsible for many of the Encoder Technology (ET) linedriver and signal processing innovations that are currently being used by the Motion Control Industry throughout the world today.

Most recently OPTOLAB, in response to customer feedback, has embarked on the task of improving the antiquated bipolar line driver designs to take full advantage of the latest CMOS fabrication technology. The result of their efforts has produced a new CMOS linedriver family that is not only inherently more cost effective, but will also provide the Systems Design Engineer with many new innovative features that were not possible with the old technology. Below are the current differential lindrivers that are available from OPTOLAB. To view other fine products from OPTOLAB please click on the link below.

OL7272 Industrial 30 Volt 4-Channel Differential Power Linedriver

The OL7272 is an industrial power linedriver that contains four identical short circuit proof differential linedrivers up to 30 Volts driver supply with a joint enable function. At overload there is a thermal shutdown feature which can be disabled by the user. The high data rate and immunity to cable inductance and capacitance makes it an ideal linedriver. The small outline SOP package gives excellent thermal power dissipation, thus it is ideal for use in space limited applications.

OL2068 Industrial 30 Volt 4-Channel Differential Power Linedriver

The OL2068 is an industrial power line driver that contains four identical short circuit proof differential linedrivers up to 30 Volts driver supply with a joint enable function. An internal 5V power supply is used as a reference and supply voltage for the circuitry. Furthermore, the OL2068 is able to supply max. 5mA for external 5V components like a sensor or a constant current source for a LED. The very small outline TSSOP package gives excellent thermal power dissipation, thus it is ideal for use in space limited applications.
