ATLS8A216 is a laser driver module with high voltage and constant current, which is used for driving one or multiple laser diodes. This laser driver module has several valuable, important, and great features that difficult to achieve at just one module. For example, high efficiency ≥90%, wide input and output voltage range, high output current 8A, low output noise, wide modulation bandwidth DC ∼20kHz, and compact size 27.4×21×5.7 (mm).
The laser driver produces little heat due to its high efficiency, so it’s not necessary to use heat sinks during normal operation. It is enclosed in a fully shielded case that blocks all the incoming and outgoing EMIs, so that it will not interfere other electronics, nor will be interfered by them.
From the block diagram, we can see that there is an over temperature protection and an over current protection circuit inside the laser driver module, which prevents the laser driver from over temperature and over current, so that it will not be damaged due to these faults.
