The modulation-current generator circuit provides con-
trol of the modulation-current amplitude. This amplitude
is determined by the voltage at the MODSET pin and

A prebias voltage (V ) can be applied to the
LED to improve switching speed. The prebias current
generator creates a current that flows through the 78Ω
prebias resistor in the output stage, creating a prebias
voltage. The prebias voltage can be adjusted by selec-

external resistor R
MODSET.
Do not connect bypass capacitors at the MODSET pin.
Capacitance at this pin increases high-frequency out-
put noise. The MON pin provides an optional modula-
tion-current monitor. The current sourced from the MON
pin is 1/96 of the modulation current. If used, the pin
