HY6340 Laser Diode Driver Switchable Constant Current Laser Diode Driver TEC Controllers The HY6340 Laser Diode Driver is designed for applications requiring high constant current drive for the operation of laser diodes such as pump sources for EDFA's and diode pumped semiconductors. The HY6340 provides selectable drive current from zero to 1 ampere (1.5 amperes with forced air cooling). The HY5640 includes outputs for monitoring and control of over-current and laser diode over-temperature conditions. The HY6340 comes in a 22 pin dual in-line ceramic package. An aluminum heat spreader is included as a part of the package for heat sinking the device. ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ Analog input, DC to 1MHz Adjustable modulation current to 1.5 amps Patented “backmatched” thermal management Enable pin for switching Overtemp and over-current alarms Common anode isolated laser diodes Thru-hole or surface-mount packaging Laser Diode Drivers Features: Micro-heaters Figure 1 Figure 2 30 • 400 Hot Springs Road, Carson City NV 89706 • (775) 883-0820 • Fax (775) 883-0827 • www.hytek.com HY6340 Laser Diode Driver Input Specifications Power Supply Input (VEE): Pins 9,10, 11, 16 Drive Enable (EN): Pin 7 Modulation (MOD): Pin 21 Ground (GND): Pins 18, 19, 20 Feedback-Optical (FB): Pin 22 Over-Temperature Alarm Input (OTI+): Pin 1 Over-Temperature Alarm Input (OTI-): Pin 5 Over-Current Alarm Input (OCI-): Pin 6 Temperature Alarm Hysteresis: Pin 4 Temperature Alarm Hysteresis: Pin 3 –9 to –15V @ 1 amp max.

Ground return for VEE (input power supply) The modulation voltage programs the laser diode drive current, IOUT. When the input is at VEE the modulation current is zero. Maximum modulation current occurs when the voltage at MOD is +5.0 V with respect to the VEE input. The current is set by the voltage at the modulation input. The Reference voltage is a precision voltage reference with an output voltage of VEE + 5VDC. The Reference voltage supplies a voltage for the adjustment of the current. It can also be used to power a resistive bridge input to the over-temperature alarm, and to provide an adjustable reference voltage to the current alarm input. The Enable pin is used to enable/disable the output. When the Enable pin is connected to ground, or left open, the output is enabled, allowing current to flow to the laser diode. When this pin is connected to VEE the laser current is disabled. The Output provides drive current to the laser diode (cathode/negative; connect anode to ground). This high input impedance, voltage feedback, input is used with a photodetector to control Output Current. Positive over-temperature alarm input. Negative over-temperature alarm input. Over-current alarm output. Alarm: VEE; No alarm: Ground Over-current input. OCI controls the set point for the over-current alarm detector. VEE<VOCI< VEE +5V Over-temperature alarm output. Alarm: VEE; No alarm: Ground Resistor connected between pins 3 and 4 to vary the temperature detector hysteresis from 1 to 10%. 400 Hot Springs Road, Carson City NV 89706 • (775) 883-0820 • Fax (775) 883-0827 • www.hytek.com • 31
