FEATURES
♦ CW operation up to 90 mA from 2.4 to 6 V supply voltage
♦ Rapid soft start after power-on typical within 70 µs
♦ Simple power adjustment via the external resistor
♦ Control loop accuracy better than 1% 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 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 LD types to be used
   (N/P/M configurations)
♦ Modulation via the feedback inputs is possible
♦ Wide monitor current range from 10 µA to 2.5 mA
♦ iC-WK with additional spike detection at monitor input MDA

APPLICATIONS
♦ Battery-powered LD modules
♦ LD Pointers
♦ Laser levels
♦ Bar-code readers
