FEATURES
✦ Optimised for P-type laser diodes (case grounded)
✦ CW operation up to 350 mA from 3 to 15 V supply voltage
✦ Rapid soft start after power-on
✦ Simple power adjustment via an external resistor
✦ Control loop accuracy better than 2% with changes in
   temperature, supply voltage and load current
✦ 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 chip temperature and
   overcurrent (i.e. if the laser diode is damaged or the feedback
   current path fails)
✦ Second feedback input MDA also permits the operation of
   N-type laser diodes
✦ Modulation via the feedback inputs possible
✦ Wide monitor current range from 2.5 µA to 6.25 mA

APPLICATIONS
✦ Laser diode modules
✦ Laser diode pointers
