Control to the average of the laser current and integrated protective functions ensure save operation of the sensitive semiconductor laser. All required functions for the pulse operation of a CW laser are integrated: a power driver and monitor amplifier for direct connection of the laser diode, an oscillator for pulse repetition frequency generation, a start-up and temperature protection as well as monitor and pulse repetition frequency outputs for synchronous control of a receiver circuit. The laser power control is adapted to the laser diode used with an external resistor at ISET. The capacitor at CI determines the control time constants. The oscillator operates with an external RC circuit in the range from about 10 kHz to 4 kMHz. The generated pulse duty factor is a stable 1:1; the oscillator frequency is reduced to 1/16th by the integrated divider. An image of the laser diode current is output via MI. Output MI when connected with a low pass filter forms a voltage proportional to the average laser current. This voltage is output to MO via the integrated voltage follower and is thus available for any applications. The Outputs PRF and NPRF supply the pulse repetition frequency complementarily to analogue levels (VCC / 2 0.75 Vpk ) to be able to activate high-speed ECL logic of a receiver circuit. The IC contains protective diodes against ESD destruction, a thermal shutdown, plus a start-up circuit for the laser diode driver to protect the laser diode when the supply voltage is switched on.

Models can be used in which the cathode of the monitor diode is connected to the anode or the cathode of the laser diode. The driver output, pin KLD, permits laser diode currents of up to 250 mA. In the event of a thermal overload due to excessive high power dissipation, the driver is turned off. The pin ISET is used for the adjustment to the sensitivity of the monitor diode and to set the desired optical laser power. The setpoint for the average control of the monitor diode current is preset at this pin, by connecting it either to a resistor or a current source. When connected to a current source, by means of an operational amplifier with current output (OTA) for example, the laser power can also be modulated. In order to limit the current at pin ISET when turning on the supply for the OTA, however, the OTA output should be connected to the base point of RSET. The maximum current possible at ISET must be taken into consideration when dimensioning the capacitor C2. Sync DC-Monitor Example iC-VJ Laser diode with 5 mW maximum optical output, monitor diode with 0.13 mA/mW, average power 1 mW (peak power 2 mW; pulse duty ratio Twhi / T is 50%). RSET is calculated as: CR1 V (ISET ) 1 1.22 V = 9.4 k I(AMD) 0.13 mA RSET = with the Electrical Characteristics No. 501 for V(ISET) and with No. 107 for current ratio CR1. Example iC-VJZ Laser diode with 5 mW maximum optical output, monitor diode with 0.75 mA at 3 mW, average power 1 mW (peak 2 mW; pulse duty ratio Twhi / T is 50%). For the average monitor current of 0.25 mA the resistor RSET is calculated as: CR1 V (ISET ) 3 1.22 V = 14.6 k I(AMD) 0.25 mA RSET = with the Electrical Characteristics No. 501 for V(ISET) and with No. 107 (iC-VJZ) for current ratio CR1. 5V R3 10k 13 MO MI 4 C3 100nF 12 VCC C4 100 F OUTPUT 14 Q PRF NQ 15 NQ NPRF 4 2 7 MONITOR DIVIDER 16:1 DRIVER 1 LD AMD MD 1:1 iC-VJ 1:3 iC-VJZ REFERENCE POWER ON TH-SHUTDOWN KLD OSCILLATOR 3 5 6 GND 3 R 5 R1 800 RC 6 ISET 11 RSET iC-VJ/VJZ CI 9 AGND 7 C2 470nF C1 100pF Figure 1: Operation of a laser diode according to the example iC-VJ, iC-VJZ LASER DIODE CONTROLLER Rev A1, Page 7/10 Oscillator The internal oscillator operates in the range approx. 10 kHz to 4 MHz. This enables laser pulse repetition frequencies from 1 to 200 kHz. Fig. 2 shows the pulse repetition frequency as a function of the oscillator circuit. Example R1 = 620 , C1 = 82 pF: f 200 kHz f [kHz] 200 PRF [1V/div] LASER Output [2mW/div] I(KDL) [50mA/div] KDL [1V/div] Timebase = 1:s/div Figure 3: Settled control with 200 kHz pulse repetition frequency Turn-on and Turn-off Behavior Capacitor C2 also determines the starting time from switching on the supply voltage VCC to steady-state laser pulse operation. The values of C2 which are necessary higher for low pulse repetition frequencies increase this starting time to several milliseconds (Fig. 4). The following applies for estimating the starting time: 100 C1= 82pF C1= 220pF C1= 1nF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 R1 [k] Figure 2: Pulse repetition frequency Ton Averaging Control The control of the average optical laser power requires the external capacitor C2 at pin CI. This capacitor is used for averaging and must be adjusted to the selected pulse repetition frequency and the charging current preset with RSET. The ratios are linear in both cases, i.e. C2 must be increased in size proportionally as the pulse repetition frequency slows or resistance RSET decreases. 440 I(ISET ) 440 = f V (ISET ) f RSET 2.5 V C2 2.5 V C2 RSET = I(ISET ) 1.22 V Example C2 = 4.7 F, RSET = 10 k: Ton 96 ms VCC [2V/div] PRF [2V/div] LASER Output [2mW/div] C2 C [1V/div] Timebase = 20 ms/div Example Frequency 10 kHz, RSET = 10 k: C2 4.7 F Otherwise the charging of C2 during the pulse pauses (with I(ISET) = 1.22 V / RSET) will result in excessive mean value potential at pin CI and the laser diode may be destroyed with the next pulse. C2 is correctly dimensioned when the current through the laser diode and the optical output signal do not show any overshooting on the rising edge. In steady-state condition, signals will then appear at the IC pins as shown in Fig. 3. In this case the laser pulse exhibits a minimal overshoot on the rising edge, but this can be tolerated. The increase in the current in KLD and the laser pulse follow directly after the signal at the divider output PRF. The outputs PRF and NPRF are used for receiver synchronisation. Figure 4: Turn-on behavior f = 10 kHz, RSET = 10 k, C2 = 4.7 F LASER Output LASER Output [1mW/div] C [200mV/div] Figure 5: Setteling of the averaging control For high pulse repetition frequencies (200 kHz) and low C2 values (220 nF) and for RSET = 10 k the averaging control achieves its operating point after 3.5 ms. Fig. 5 shows the turn-on, Fig. 6 the turn-off behavior, here in case of undervoltage. iC-VJ, iC-VJZ LASER DIODE CONTROLLER Rev A1, Page 8/10 VCC [2V/div] LASER Output [1mW/div] up transients (Fig. 7). This capacitor should be placed close to the laser diode and not at the start of the LD supply line. An approx. 12 series resistor at pin KLD reduces the iC power consumption and damps possible resonances of the load circuit caused by the inductive LD supply line. This resistor is useful for many applications, also for those which do not operate via cable. When the LD supply line is laid out on the PCB, the forward path VCC should be arranged in parallel with, i.e. be close to the return path to KLD, even when the line is only a few centimeters in length. 5V C [50mV/div] Figure 6: Turn-off behavior Operation of a laser diode via cable It is recommended to connect a capacitor from 1 nF up to 10 nF across the laser diode in order to protect the laser diode against destruction due to ESD or buildSync DC-Monitor R3 10k 13 MO 4 MI C3 100nF 12 VCC C4 100F OUTPUT 14 Q PRF DRIVER DIVIDER 16:1 NQ 1 LD AMD 1 15 NQ NPRF 4 2 1:1 iC-VJ 1:3 iC-VJZ REFERENCE POWER ON TH.- SHUTDOWN 7 MONITOR MD C5 5nF KLD 2 R5 12 OSCILLATOR 3 5 6 GND 3 R 5 R1 800 RC 6 ISET 11 RSET iC-VJ/VJZ CI 9 C2 470nF AGND 7 C1 100pF Figure 7: Operation of a laser diode via cable iC-VJ, iC-VJZ LASER DIODE CONTROLLER Rev A1, Page 9/10 EVALUATION BOARD For the devices iC-VJ/VJZ a Demo Board is available for test purposes.
