As laser systems, plating technologies, and beam steering applications become faster and more precise, traditional programmable power supplies are struggling to keep up. Output speed, waveform flexibility, and precision are no longer “nice to haves”—they are critical to performance, yield, and innovation.
Astrodyne TDI has answered the call with a new class of power technology: the AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator).
Modern OEMs in motion control, semiconductor, RF amplification, and materials processing are pushing power systems to their limits harder than ever before. These demanding applications often require:
High-speed transient response
Complex, custom waveforms
High-frequency pulse delivery
Bipolar output currents
Precise amplitude control
Traditional switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) with large output capacitors can’t meet these needs. Their built-in filtering—which works well for clean, stable DC power—introduces limitations in slew rate, preventing rapid voltage and current transitions.
Astrodyne TDI’s new AWG brings together high-speed performance, waveform flexibility, and ultra-compact scalability in one field-ready power solution.
Designed to sit downstream of any AC-DC programmable power supply, the AWG delivers:
Pulsed output capabilities up to 1000A/ms and 2000V/ms
Output frequencies up to 5 kHz
Support for any wave shape: sine, triangle, trapezoid, custom
True bipolar output for precise forward and reverse current control
2kW per brick, with parallel scalability for higher output needs
Several industries are already exploring AWG-class power to overcome bottlenecks and improve performance:
Semiconductor Lasers: Require clean, high-speed pulse trains with tight amplitude control
Pulse Plating & Metal Finishing: Need programmable bipolar currents with fast rise/fall times
Beam Steering: Requires precise, dynamic waveform shaping for accuracy and control
RF Amplifier Systems: Benefit from rapid waveform flexibility for heat control and modulation
These applications all have one thing in common: they are outgrowing the capabilities of conventional power supplies.
Astrodyne TDI’s AWG gives OEMs a critical edge in power delivery with:
High slew rate outputs with no tradeoffs
Scalable, modular design
Compatibility with any AC-DC backend
Ultra-high reliability
Configurable control and cooling options
Unlike competitors offering rigid platforms, Astrodyne’s AWG is ready for rapid deployment, with the flexibility to evolve alongside your application.
The AWG is more than just a fast power supply. It’s a new building block for advanced systems that demand programmable performance, reliability, and speed.
