FEATURES
♦ Optimised for M-type laser diodes
   (single supply, case grounded)
♦ CW operation up to 350 mA from a single supply of 3.6 to 15 V
♦ Rapid soft start after power-on
♦ Simple power adjustment via an external resistor
♦ Integrated reverse polarity protection for the iC and laser diode
♦ Strong suppression of transients with small external
   capacitors; integrated flyback path
♦ Permanent shutdown 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 laser diode types to be
   used (M/P/N configurations)
♦ Modulation via the feedback inputs possible
♦ Wide monitor current range from 2.5 µA to 6.25 mA

APPLICATIONS
♦ Blue laser diodes
♦ Laser diode modules
♦ Laser diode pointers
♦ Laser levels
♦ Bar-code readers
