Connections
Terminal block
VCC: Supply input. Connect this pin to a 9V supply.
EN: Laser Enable pin. Apply a voltage between 2.2 V and 4.5 V to enable the laser current.
TRIM: Laser current trimming input with 2 kΩ input impedance, ± 2 V input voltage range and 10 Hz bandwidth. Gain is 10 mA/V for the 200 mA version.
IMON: Laser current monitoring pin. The voltage at this pin is proportional to the laser current (5 V/A for the 200 mA version).
LD+: Laser anode pin. Connect this pin to the laser anode.
GND: Ground. Connect this pin to the laser cathode.
Switch
EN: Enable / disable laser current.
ILIM: Set to ON/OFF for Low/High current limit.
G0 / G1: Set modulation gain as follows:
G0 | G1 | Modulation gain |
---|---|---|
OFF | OFF | High (x 1) |
ON | OFF | Medium (x 1/5) |
OFF | ON | Low (x 1/25) |
LED
The LED lights up when the laser driver is enabled.
Mounting multiple DRV300 in parallel
To mount the laser drivers in parallel, tie LD+ pins together as follows:
