iC-WK
2.4V CW LASER DIODE DRIVER
FEATURES
° CW operation up to 60mA from 2.4..6V supply voltage ° Rapid soft start after power-on ° Simple power adjustment via the external resistor ° Control loop accuracy better than 1% with changes in
temperature, supply voltage and load current ° Integrated reverse polarity protection for the iC and laser
diode ° Strong suppression of transients with very small external
capacitors ° Integrated flyback path protects against transients ° Permanent shutdown with excessive temperature and
overcurrent (i.e. if the laser diode is damaged or the feedback current path fails) ° Two feedback inputs permit all current LD types to be used (M/P/N configurations) ° Modulation via the feedback inputs is possible ° Wide monitor current range from 10µA to 2.
