Signal descriptions
V
EE
Input power supply (–9 to –15 VDC).
GND
Ground return for V
EE
(input power supply)
MOD
The modulation voltage programs the laser diode drive current, I
OUT
. When the input is at V
EE
the modulation cur-
rent is zero. Maximum modulation current occurs when the voltage at MOD is +5.0 V with respect to the V
EE
in-
put. The current is set by the voltage at the modulation input.
V
REF
The Reference voltage is a precision voltage reference with an output voltage of V
EE
+ 5V
DC
. The Reference volt-
age supplies a voltage for the adjustment of the current. It can also be used to power a resistive bridge input to
the over-temperature alarm, and to provide an adjustable reference voltage to the current alarm input.
EN
The Enable pin is used to enable/disable the output. When the Enable pin is connected to ground, or left open,
the output is enabled, allowing current to flow to the laser diode. When this pin is connected to V
EE
the laser
current is disabled.
I
OUT
The Output provides drive current to the laser diode (cathode/negative; connect anode to ground).
FB
This high input impedance, voltage feedback, input is used with a photodetector to control Output Current.
OTI+
Positive over-temperature alarm input.
OTI–
Negative over-temperature alarm input.
OCA
Over-current alarm output. Alarm: V
EE
; No alarm: Ground
OCI
Over-current input. OCI controls the set point for the over-current alarm detector. V
