FEATURES
♦ CW operation up to 300 mA from 2.4 to 15 V supply voltage
♦ Rapid soft start after power-on typical within 70 µs
♦ Optimised for N-type laser diodes
♦ Simple output power adjustment via an external resistor (APC)
♦ Power control loop accuracy better than 1.5% with changes in
   temperature, supply voltage and load current
♦ Integrated reverse polarity protection for the iC and laser diode
♦ Strong suppression of transients with very small external
   capacitors; integrated flyback path
♦ Permanent shut-down with excessive temperature and
   overcurrent (i.e. if the laser diode is damaged or the feedback
   current path fails)
♦ Two feedback inputs permit all current LD types to be used
   (N/P/M configurations)
♦ Modulation via the feedback inputs is possible
♦ Wide monitor current range from 2.5 µA to 6.25 mA
♦ Pin compatible to iC-WK and iC-WKL (SO8 package)

APPLICATIONS
♦ Laser diode modules
♦ Laser levels
