Modes and Power Dissipation
Important:
The names of the modes on the board may differ in earlier
versions of this curcuit. Please refer to this updated manual for the order and
the names of the modes.
To cover many different working areas of the LDP-CWL, the driver has the
possibility to change the internal working area for the most suitable operation.
The LDP-CWL can be set in three different working areas continuous wave mode
(CW), modulation mode (Mod.) and manual mode (Man.).
In every working area the driver achieves the best combination of a switching and
a linear regulator. This technique allows high energy consumption, great linearity
characteristics with a low output current ripple.
Mount the driver on an appropriate heat sink.
Please be aware that there might be hot surfaces, be careful not to
touch them!
Modes
In the
continuous wave mode
(CW) it is possible to set the LDP-CWL for
continuous signals with high efficiency. Independent of the load and according to
the output current, the driver has linear power consumption.
The following graph shows the typical power consumption of the LDP-CWL against
the output current.
