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
