PIN DESCRIPTIONS

PIN

NAME

PIN DESCRIPTION

1

No Connect

2

PD Cathode

Photodiode cathode connection for Type C lasers only; see 

Figure 9 on page 10

.

3

PD Anode

Photodiode anode connection for Type A & B lasers. Photodiode feedback is required for Constant 

Power-mode operation. Tie this pin to PD Aux (pin 23) for Type C lasers (see 

page 10

).

4, 5, 6

LD Cathode

Laser diode cathode connection.

7, 8, 9

LD Anode /

+LD Supply

Laser diode anode connection. Also used as power supply input for high-compliance lasers. 

Maximum input voltage 30 VDC. 

On PLD12500, the supply voltage (+5 V) and LD Anode must be separate supplies.

10, 11, 12

GND

Power supply ground. Used with +5 V for high current return.

13, 14, 15

+5 V

Supply voltage to control electronics. Range 4.5 to 5.5 VDC. The power supply must be rated to 

source at least 1.1-times the laser current plus the PLD quiescent current. On PLD12500, the 

supply voltage (+5 V) and LD Anode voltage must be separate supplies.

16

Analog Input

Remote setpoint or modulation input. Transfer function varies by model and operating mode—refer 

to 

Table 2

. Range 0 to 5 V. Impedance 1 MΩ. Not TTL-compatible. Connect Analog Input pin to 

Common (pin 19) when not using the Analog Input function. The Analog Input signal sums with the 

onboard setpoint value. See 

Electrical Specifications

 for damage threshold information.

17

P Monitor

Photodiode Current Monitor (power monitor). Transfer function varies by PD feedback range 

setting—refer to 

Table 2

. Range 0 to 2.5 V. Impedance 1 kΩ.

18

I Monitor

Laser Diode Output Current Monitor. Transfer function varies by model—refer to 

Table 2

Range 0 to 2.5 V. Impedance 1 kΩ.

19

Common

Measurement ground. Low current return used only with Monitor pins and Analog Input. Internally 

shorted to GND (pins 10, 11, 12).

20

LIM I Monitor

Current Limit Monitor. Transfer function varies by model—refer to 

Table 2

.

Range 0 to 2.5 V. Impedance 1 kΩ. The current limit voltage should be set 0.2 V above the desired 

limit level. Instructions for fine-tuning the current limit are on 

page 13

.

21

LIM I Status

Status output pin. Indicates if the driver has reached current limit and has switched off the output. 

Signal is < 0.3 V if the driver is in limit and output is latched off; signal is at 5 V when output is not 

in limit. Toggle LD Enable to reset the limit circuit and enable the output current.

22

LD Enable

Output Enable. Disable = ground or floating. Enable = 3 to 5 V.

Requires 5 mA input current. Not TTL-compatible.

23

PD Aux

For TYPE C Laser Diodes only. See 

Figure 9 on page 10.

 

24

Aux V+

For TYPE C Laser Diodes only. See 

 Figure 9.
