Explanation
IBIAS
Bias Output
A sink current drawn by IBIAS determines the laser
diode bias current.
CBIAS
MPOUT
Control
Monitor Output
The bias controller characteristic is set to an
i-controller. The cutoff frequency can be decreased
by an external capacitor at CBIAS to VEE.
MPOUT is an open collector output for pulling up a
resistor to monitor the deviation of the optical
power over the monitor diode current. Let open if
not used.
RPOUT
Control
A resistor between RPOUT and VEE can adjust the
relation of optical power measured over the
monitor diode current to output current at MPOUT.
Let open if the monitoring of the optical power is not
used.
VBIAS
Bias Output
This output can be connected to the base of an
external bias current NPN transistor. It can be
leave open if not used. It is dedicated for
applications which can not use the internal bias
transistor. Base of the output current mirror 1:25.
MD
LDOFF
RSTN
Monitor Diode
Input
Laser Shut Down
Output
Logic Input
This is the controller feedback input. The voltage at
this input represents the monitor diode current and
by this the laser output power. The bias current will
be controlled to an equal level of VMD and VMDR.
Whenever the laser diode is disabled LDOFF will
deliver a high voltage level closed to VCC. If the
laser diode is enabled there is a sink current to
drive the base of an external pnp transistor to
support a laser diode supply shut down. If not used
this output can be leave open without Laser Driver
performance restrictions. There is an internal pull
up resistor between LDOFF and VCCA of 10k.
Low active reset input. This input resets the LF
indication if present. Further the laser diode is held
within shut down mode if this signal is at low level.
For constant laser diode enable this signal can be
tied to VCC.
