Caution for Handling
1) The recommended V
IN
voltage is 2.5 to 3V for [H] and
0 to 0.4V for [L].
2) Do not apply V
IN
while the power supply is OFF.
3) For the current source to be connected to the V
IP
pin,
use a Si bipolar transistor as shown in the circuit dia-
gram.
(Example: 2SD874)
To connect a resistor to the emitter or collector, use a
resistor of a few ohm. The use of higher resistor may
cause large change in the voltage at the V
IP
pin, and
may make the output waveform distortion. (See the pulse
output current control example).
To use another current control circuit, set so that the V
IP
pin voltage becomes around 2V.
4) When mounting, minimize the connection distance be-
tween the semiconductor laser and IC, and use the chip
parts (C, R) of less parasitic effects.
5) Attention to damage by the power surge (see the ex-
ample connection of the pin protection circuit).
During handling, take care to ground the human body
and solder iron tip.
6) The current value of the current source connected to the
V
IP
pin should be zero to protect the semiconductor la-
ser when the power supply is turned ON and OFF.
When the power supply is ON, make V
SS
to rise earlier
than V
DD
. When the power supply is OFF, make V
DD
to
fall earlier than V
SS
. When V
DD
= 5V, V
SS
= 0 even
transitionary, the current of about 30mA flows through
the semiconductor laser.
7) Pay attention to release the heat.
