Laser drivers are a type of power management integrated circuit (PMIC) used for providing direct current (DC) power to laser diodes. The NT20042-QSOP is a prime example of this type of driver, and its application field and working principle is as follows:

Application Field

The NT20042-QSOP was designed to efficiently drive small-to-medium power laser diodes at a constant current. It has a wide input voltage range with an adjustable output current. This driver is recommended for laser diode applications with forward currents ranging from tens of milliamperes to several amperes, and output voltages up to several volts. It is also suitable for applications where temperature or vibration is a major concern.

This type of driver is ideal for controlling and monitoring the power of laser diodes used in medical, industrial, communications, and other fields requiring precision laser beam power regulation. It can also be used as a control element in other laser systems or as a driver in optical telecommunications equipment.

Working Principle

The NT20042-QSOP driver IC works between the power supply and the laser diode. It takes a constant DC voltage from the power supply and regulates the current flowing to the diode, resulting in a constant emission power thanks to its high power conversion efficiency. The NT20042-QSOP utilizes a highly accurate current regulator with a digitally selectable output current range of between 0.1 and 10A in 10mA increments, allowing for a precise adjustment of the output current.

The NT20042-QSOP also has a temperature-compensated current sensing circuit, which allows it to accurately control the output current over a wide temperature range. This driver also has short-circuit protection, over-voltage protection, power-on reset, and several other protective features to ensure the safety of the laser diode. Additionally, it has a diagnostic indicator output to provide feedback on the operating conditions.

The NT20042-QSOP driver is easy to operate and the current setting can be adjusted using a simple two-wire programming interface. It is also highly efficient, with up to 95% power conversion efficiency, and has a low quiescent current of less than 2mA, making it ideal for high-power laser diode applications.

In summary, the NT20042-QSOP laser driver is a small, efficient, and reliable IC designed to control and monitor the power of laser diodes used in a variety of applications. It has a wide input voltage range, adjustable output current and low quiescent current, and its current sensing and temperature compensation capabilities allow for precise power regulation and high power conversion efficiency.
