DESCRIPTIONS
The AAS25A6V2 is an electronic power supply brick designed
for driving laser diodes with up to 25A low noise current. The
output current can be set by an analog voltage of 0V to 2.5V,
an external potentiometer, or the built-in internal
potentiometers, to between 0 and 25A.
A pulsed output current can be generated by driving the PCN
port with a digital signal, under which, the peak output current
is set by the LISH port while the valley output current is set by
the LISL port. The modulation frequency can go up to 5kHz,
resulting to an approximately 56μS rise/fall time at the output
current.
The AAS25A6V2 laser driver comes with a high stability low
noise 2.5V reference voltage. It can be used for setting the
output current. This reference can also be used as the voltage
reference for external ADCs (Analog to Digital Converters)
and DACs (Digital to Analog Converters), which might be
used for monitoring and/or setting the laser current.
This laser driver brick has a high efficiency:
≥ 70%@VLDA = 3.5V&IOUT = 25A. It saves energy and has low
temperature rise.
There is an over-temperature protection circuit inside, in case
the laser power supply temperature exceeds the temperature
limit, 85°C, the laser driver will shut down itself and be
turned back on by itself after the temperature returns to the
normal temperature range.
There is a soft-start circuit in this laser driver, which ensures
smooth current transactions during power-up period.
In case there is a short circuit at the output, the internal
protection circuit will cut off the output.
The output voltage is automatically set from 0V to 6V to
keep the output current at a pre-set value. When the output
voltage exceeds the maximum value, the driver will not
works properly.
The control loop is monitored in real time by an internal circuit,
to make sure that it works properly. The monitoring result is
sent to the LPGD node. When this pin is pulled up internally, it
indicates that the control loop works properly and Loop Good
LED will be lit. This pin signal can be sent to a microcontroller,
or used for driving an LED through a buffer. The internal
equivalent circuit of this pin is a 5kΩ pull-up resistor
connected to a 5V rail in parallel with an open drain
comparator output.
The main specifications are shown in Table 1 below.
