Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor laser drive technology, in particular to a laser current drive circuit and a drive method with maximum current protection. 【Background technique】 [0002] Such as figure 1 As shown, the traditional semiconductor laser drive circuit protects the laser by comparing the actual current of the load with the maximum protection current. This is a kind of backward feedback protection. The disadvantage of this protection method is the response lag. When the protection action occurs, the overcurrent has actually occurred, and the load may have been damaged. [0003] Another traditional semiconductor laser drive circuit such as figure 2 As shown, the disadvantage of this drive circuit is that the laser is placed on the collector of the triode, and the sampling resistor is placed on the emitter of the triode. According to Kirchhoff's current law, the emitter current Ie=Ic+Ib of the triode, which is It will ...
