LDTC0520 / LDTC1020 LASER DIODE AND TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

AN ALTERNATE METHOD FOR SETTING THE
LASER DRIVER CURRENT LIMIT

The laser drive current can be set while using the test load,

as recommended on

page 13

, or it can be set while

monitoring an internal test point. Using this method, it is

not necessary to connect a test load or switch on the driver

output, but the cover must be removed from the LDTC.

Refer to your laser diode datasheet to find the maximum

recommended forward current, I

LIM

. Then calculate the test

point voltage value for the current limit setting. The transfer

function is found in

Table 2

, and varies according to the

controller model number.

Transfer Function

Remove the two screws securing the cover of the LDTCxx20,

lift off the cover, and locate the test point above the I LIM

for

Rev A & B only. Connect the positive lead of the DVM to the

test point, and the negative lead to one of the ground pins on

the J2 connector (4, 6, 12).

Connect the laser driver power supply and switch it on.
