   300 kHz) up to 250 mA
♦ Averaging control of laser power
♦ Simple adjustment of the laser power via external resistor
♦ Adjustable watchdog at the switching input to protect the laser
   diode
♦ Soft-start after power-on
♦ Driver shutdown with overtemperature and undervoltage
♦ Single 5 V supply
♦ Simple circuitry
♦ iC-WJ for laser diodes with 50 to 500 µA monitor current
♦ iC-WJZ for laser diodes with 0.15 to 1.5 mA monitor current

APPLICATIONS
♦ General purpose laser diode
