  • Page 4: How To Use The Manual

    How to use the Manual Notice: Depending on the final application and operation regime, this unit must be assembled onto a heat sink or may stay non-cooled. Improper cooling may cause damage to the electronic components. Before powering on your driver unit read this manual thoroughly and make sure you have understood everything.
  • Page 5: Dos And Don'ts

    Dos and Don’ts Never ground any output connector. Never use any grounded probes at the output. Do not connect your oscilloscope to the output! This will immediately destroy the driver and the probe! Do not connect voltages in reverse polarity to the device as there is no built-in protection circuit.
  • Page 6: How To Get Started

    How to get started Step What to do Check Unpack your device. Attach the laser diode to the driver. Please see section “Connection of the Laser Diode” for further details. Assemble the driver onto an appropriate See section “Power Losses” for heat sink.

    LVDS receiver. Note: It is recommended to keep the trigger pulse width within the range of 1 µs .. 100 µs. The LDP-AV 16N45-40 has an internal short pulse sharpener included. This feature assures a constant pulse width. Channel Selection This driver includes an internal multiplexer which allows to select a specific channel thus a laser diode.

  • Page 12: Power Supply Requirements

    Power Supply Requirements The driver requires a stabilized +5 V supply (used by control logic). Adhere to the power-up sequence as follows: 1) Fully ramp up the +5 V rail 2) Enable the HV supply 3) Apply trigger signal Should you aim to connect a large number of driver units to a single power supply the high start-up current spikes can be taken care of by using an additional capacitor bank and hard power switching at its output.
  • Page 13: Trigger Output Monitor

    Trigger Output Monitor The trigger output signal is generated with an integrated, isolated Rogowski coil and provides an ultra fast galvanically isolated signal. The signal shape is proportional to the derivative of the load current. It can be used for a current response triggering signal and has no delay to the load current.
