SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Laser light can damage the human eye and the

eyes of animals! Do not look at any laser light di-
rectly or through any optical lens. When handling a
laser diode, do not look directly at the light generated
by it. Wear appropriate safety glasses to prevent light
from entering the eye even by reflection.
TURN-ON/OFF BEHAVIOUR
Turn-on behaviour Turn-off behaviour

After switching on the supply voltage the output stage iC-WK/L functions without a fixed undervoltage lockout,
remains disabled until the internal enabling flip-flop is thus the laser diode forward voltage is the prime factor

The power control is shut down with excessive driver
Phase II, the initialisation process, begins when current temperature or when the laser current reaches the over-
starts to flow at LDK. This phase ends when the laser current shutdown threshold, for example when the feed-
reaches its threshold current and the monitor current back is interrupted. If the monitor diode or the preset
produced raises the potential at resistor RM. resistor RM fail, the device is shutdown in less than
250 µs, provided that the supply voltage applied is high
enough.
The transition to CW operation (phase III) is gradual
and primarily influenced by the CI and RM components. When modulating or switching the laser current via pin
CI is properly dimensioned when the voltage overshot MDK (see Application Notes), excessive voltage oc-
at MDA is at a minimum. curring at pin MDA also causes a shut down (iC-WK
only).
