Voltage VLDAMAX

Maximum LDA Output Voltage vs. Power Supply Voltage

The maximum LDA pin output voltage is depending on the

power supply input voltage, VVPS. Their relationship is shown

in Figure 8. Therefore, it is recommended that:

VVPS

≥ VLDAMAX + 1V,

Where VLDAMAX is the laser diode’s maximum possible

forward voltage at the operation current.

To Avoid Output Current Distortions

The laser diode’s forward voltage and current has a non-linear

relationship shown in Figure 9.1 and 9.1. It can be seen that

when the current is low, the voltage is uncertain, it can be

between 0V to 1V or more. Thus, when setting the output

current to zero, the output voltage will oscillate between 0V
