DESCRIPTION
FL591FL
Evaluation board with FL500
EASY SETUP SAVES YOU TIME
The FL591FL allows you to quickly and easily prototype your
laser diode driver system using our popular FL500 laser
diode driver chip.
The FL591FL can be configured to drive a single 500 mA
output, or two 250 mA independent outputs by setting
onboard jumpers. The drivers operate in Constant Current
or Constant Power modes.
Onboard current setpoint and limit trimpots mean no external
electronics are required to operate the drivers. Simply
connect the power supply and laser diodes, and you’re ready
to go.
ACCURATELY PROTOTYPE YOUR
LASER CONTROL SYSTEM
The FL591FL features low-noise electronics and low
quiescent current, and the feedback and monitor signals
allow you to accurately characterize your laser controller.
You can transfer the FL500 prototype configuration directly
to your custom laser control system with no surprises.
The FL500 is commonly used in hand-held, portable, and
space constrained applications. The small size and light
weight makes the FL500 ideal for airborne applications,
and the dual-channel output is perfect for sighting-and-
detection applications.
