DESCRIPTION
The ATLS1.5A104 is an electronic module designed for
driving diode lasers with up to 1.5A extra low noise current.
The output voltage is 0.5V to 3.5V when powered by a 5.5V
power supply. Figure 1 shows the photo of ATLS1.5A104.
The controller has temperature compensation network so that
the output current maintains the same even as the controller
temperature rises.
In case the controller temperature exceeds a preset limit, 120°C,
the controller will be shut down by itself to prevent the
controller from being damaged by the over heat.
The output current of the ATLS1.5A104 can be set by an input
voltage linearly or modulated by an external signal of up to
1.75MHz in bandwidth, resulting in a minimum 200nS rise and
fall times at the output current.
A highly stable low noise 2.5V reference voltage is provided
internally for setting the output current. This reference can also
be used as the voltage reference for external ADCs (Analog to
Digital Converters) and/or DACs (Digital to Analog
Converters) which are utilized for converting the analog signals,
such as LIO which represents the output current, into digital
signals, and/or converting the digital signals into analog ones
for setting the analog voltages, such as LIS which sets the
output current.
The ATLS1.5A104 is packaged in a 6 sided metal enclosure,
which blocks EMIs (Electro-Magnetic Interferences) to prevent
the controller and other electronics from interfering each other.
This laser driver can be evaluated by our evaluation board,
ATLS1A103DEV1.0.
There are 2 packaging versions available: DIP through hole
package and surface mount type.
