ATLS1A102-S

Analog Analog Technologies FEATURES Ultra Low Noise: 5K. Otherwise, some error will be introduced at the output current. When the impedance is 5K, the current error caused at the output is about 0.01%. Please be aware that adding capacitor on this pin will increase the high frequency noise current. Therefore, when monitoring the output current on this pin continuously, insert a resistor of about >5K in series with the voltage meter or ADC. In this way, there is no big capacitance added on the LDC pin. Under no-fault operation conditions, the output voltage of LDC is always the same as that of LISH. Sync. Signal (Optional) Power Supply 5V power supply 0V 7 Laser Diode Figure 4 A Typical Micro-processor-based Application In this circuit, the input current can be set by a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). By sensing the logic level of LPGD, pin 12, the working status of the controller can be monitored by a micro-controller (MC), when it is logic “1”, the loop is good; “0”, the loop is at fault, which includes open circuit at the laser diode connections, or short circuit from LDA to ground, but excludes short circuit at the laser diode and short circuit from LDC to ground. Shut down pin can also be controlled by the micro-controller, setting it to logic “1” turns on the controller, “0” turns it off. Please notice that this pin comes with an internal pull up resistor of 100K, it can be ORed (logic OR) by multiple digital ports of several micro-controllers, with each of the port having an opendrain output. The internal voltage reference output, 2P5V, pin 3, can be used as the reference voltage for the ADCs and the DACs. Figure 5 shows a low noise high speed square wave modulation application circuit. Figure 5 Low Noise Digital Modulation Circuit The output current is set by adjusting W1, which sets input voltages of LISL (Laser I (current) Set Low-speed), pin 4. The output current will be: I_output = LISL(V)/2.5V (A). LISL should never be left float. Otherwise, the output current will go too high a value that the laser might be damaged. The LISL pin allows modulating the output current at a speed of up to 0.08Hz. This low speed port filters out high frequency noise, if any, in the input signal applied to this pin. In addition to using the LPGD pin for monitoring the working status of the controller, the output current can be monitored directly by measuring the voltage of LDC pin. The equation is: I_out = LDC(V)/0.5V (A). 5 5 0 E. W eddell Drive, Suit e 4 , Sunnyvale, CA 9 4089 , U. S. A .

Special cautions must be taken for turning on the controller. These are the recommendations: 1. Hold the SDN pin to ground by a mechanical switch or an electronic logic device when turning on the power on the VPS pin and release the SDN pin to logic high after the VPS voltage is stabilized to turn on the laser. 2. If choose not to control the SDN pin for turning on the laser, leave the SDN pin unconnected. There is an internal capacitor holding SDN pin to logic low. Now, the laser can be turned on and off by using the VPS pin. FIRST TIME POWER UP Laser is a high value and vulnerable device. Faults in connections and damages done to the controller during soldering process may damage the laser permanently. To protect the laser, it is highly recommend to use 3 regular diodes of >1A to form a “dummy laser” and insert it in the place of the real laser diode, when powering up the controller for the first time. Use an oscilloscope to monitor the LDA voltage at times of power-up and power-down, make sure that there is not over-shoot in voltage. At the same time, use an ammeter in serious with the dummy laser, to make sure that the output current is correct. After thorough checking free of faults, disconnect the dummy laser and connect the real laser in place. The controller output voltage range for the laser is between 0.5 to 4V when powered by a 5V power supply. MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING The ATLS1A102 comes in 2 packages: through hole mount and surface mount. The former is often called DIP (Dual Inline package) or D (short for DIP) package and has a part number: ATLS1A102−D, and the latter is often called SMT (Surface Mount Technology) or SMD (Surface Mount Device) package and has a part number: ATLS1A102−S.
