Getting Started with iC-NZN

Control laser diodes up to 300 mA in continuous wave or pulsed operation with the iC-NZN, either employing automatic power control (APC) or automatic current control (ACC).
Watch our HandsOn video to learn how to configure the different operating modes on the iC-NZN EVAL NZN1D evaluation board.

Key Takeaways

• Setting up the iC-NZN EVAL NZN1D evaluation board for APC
• Changing the fixed resistor for higher output power in APC
• Setting up the current limiter: RSI calculation for LDA monitor
• Voltage supply considerations
• Error handling in APC: a broken feedback path, overcurrent error
• Turn-On Transients vs. CI capacitor values in APC
• Pulsing with 40 kHz in APC
• ACC: Setup and practical example
• Fast Pulsing in ACC
