Astrodyne TDI Launches AWG: Revolutionary High‑Slew Pulse Power Regulator


Back-Up Power & DC Power Distribution Considerations for Medical Systems (7)Hackettstown, NJ — June 23, 2025 — Astrodyne TDI today announced the availability of its groundbreaking AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator), a high-frequency post‑regulator designed specifically for demanding high‑slew, high‑current pulsed output applications. Industries such as semiconductor laser systems, pulse plating, defense electronics, and medical lasers can now achieve precision waveform control and unprecedented electrical agility in compact, modular packages. 

Power Meets Precision: Key Features

  • Blazing Fast Slew Rates: Ideal for rapid pulsed applications, capable of >1,000 A/ms across broad output ranges.

  • High‑Speed Hysteretic Control: Utilizes synchronous buck topology at 200 kHz, dynamically adapting switching frequency to load conditions for optimal slew and efficiency.

  • Bipolar Waveform Capability: Seamlessly reverse polarity for advanced control, enabling bidirectional current and versatile pulse shaping.

  • Scalable Design: Supports parallel configurations—up to eight units deliver up to 8,000 A/ms, enabling ultra‑rapid current transitions for large loads.

  • Low‑Capacitance Architecture: Less than 100 μF output capacitance (≈3 µF/A at 30 A) ensures tight control and remarkably fast response.

Why AWG Leads the Pack

Conventional offline AC‑DC designs are unable to meet the slew speed and accurate waveform demands modern applications require. By providing a true switched‑mode post regulator with both high slew rates and programmable waveforms, the AWG delivers unmatched performance while ensuring semiconductor reliability through efficient thermal management.

Ideal for Cutting‑Edge Applications

  • Semiconductor Lasers: Precise, high-frequency pulse shaping

  • Pulse Plating Systems: Rapid bipolar control for surface quality and consistency

  • Medical & Industrial Lasers: Instant and programmable power delivery

  • Defense & Aerospace: High-speed actuators, beam steering, radar pulse systems
