PLDXK-CH SERIES LASER DIODE DRIVER

QUICK CONNECT GUIDE, CONTINUED

We recommend using a test load to configure the PLDxK-CH;

refer to

Figure 4

. When using the test load, the actual drive

current can be determined by measuring the voltage drop

across the resistor. Do not place an ammeter in series with

the load circuit.

1.5 - 2.5 V Compliance,

Current to 15.0 A,

Components must

be heat-sinked.

REVISION MARKING

The product revision is marked in the third place of the serial

number stamped on the cover. For example, CH

0852111

is a Revision A driver.
