GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADN8810 is a 12-bit current source with an adjustable full-
scale output current of up to 300 mA. The full-scale output current
is set with two external sense resistors. The output compliance
voltage is 2.5 V, even at output currents up to 300 mA.
Noise and digital feedthrough are kept low to ensure low jitter
operation for laser diode applications. Full-scale and scaled
output currents are given in Equation 1 and Equation 2,
respectively.
The device is particularly suited for tunable laser control and
can drive tunable laser front mirror, back mirror, phase, gain,
and amplification sections. A host CPU or microcontroller
controls the operation of the ADN8810 over a 3-wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI). The 3-bit address allows up to eight
devices to be independently controlled while attached to the
same SPI bus.
