[1] An internal thermostat has been added to activate Shutdown (SHD) when the internal temperature exceeds 105°C. The output will be
re-enabled after a 250 to 300 ms slow-start once the internal temperature drops below 95°C.
[2] Bandwidth in Constant Power mode depends on photodiode bandwidth.
[3] Leakage current specification is based on full current set by R
SENSE
. See
for information on setting the current range.
Minimum turn-on current in the 200 mA range is 350 μA. Minimum turn-on current in the 2 A range is 12 mA.
Noise:
*The WLD33ND and WLD33ND-3A have noise greater than 45 µA. To further reduce noise, the WLD33ND-2L and WLD33ND-3L
models are available. Constant Power (CP) mode is not available in the -L models.
