GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADN2830 provides closed-loop control of the average
optical power of a continuous wave (CW) laser diode (LD)
after initial factory setup. The control loop adjusts the laser
IBIAS to maintain a constant back facet monitor photodiode
(MPD) current and thus a constant laser optical power. The
external PSET resistor is adjusted during factory setup to set
the desired optical power. R
PSET
is set at 1.23/I
AV
, where I
AV
is the MPD current corresponding to the desired optical power.
Programmable alarms are provided for laser fail (end of life)
and laser degrade (impending fail).
To provide monitoring of the MPD current, the MPD can be
connected to the IMPD pin. In this case, the MPD current is
mirrored to the IMPDMON pin to provide a monitor and
internally to the PSET pin to close the control loop.
By closing the feedback using IBMON rather than an MPD
connected to PSET, the device is configured to control a constant
current in the laser rather than a constant optical output power.
