impedance). This ensures that the PNP or NPN transistor
is turned off, removing the laser-bias current. (See the
Applications Information section.)
The REF pin provides a controlled reference voltage
dependent upon the voltage at MON. The voltage at REF
is V
at REF determines the laser power when APC is used
with common-cathode lasers. See the Design Procedure
section for information about setting the laser power.
The modulator circuitry consists of an input buffer, current
generator, and high-speed current switch (Figure 4). The
modulator drives up to 30mA of modulation current into
a 25 load.
Many of the modulator performance specifications
depend on the total modulator current (I
To ensure good driver performance, the voltage at
OUT+ and OUT- must not be less than V
The amplitude of the modulation current is set with
resistors at the MODSET and temperature coefficient (TC)
pins. The resistor at MODSET (R
temperature-stable portion of modulation current, while
the resistor at TC (R
increasing portion of the modulation current. Figure 5
shows modulation current as a function of temperature
for two extremes: R
has zero temperature coefficient) and R
(the modulation temperature coefficient is 4000ppm).
Intermediate tempco values of modulation current can
be obtained as described in the Design Procedure sec-
tion. Table 3 is the R
The laser driver can be used with two popular safety
systems. APC maintains laser safety using local feed-
back. Safety features monitor laser driver operation and
