Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a driving protection circuit for a high-power semiconductor laser. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are two schemes for driving a high-power light-emitting device, scheme 1: a triode is used to form a constant current source to drive the light-emitting device to emit light; and scheme 2: an integrated circuit is used to output constant current to drive the light-emitting device to emit light. However, the above schemes still have the following problems: scheme 1: generally applicable to driving a small-power light-emitting device; and scheme 2: the control circuit is complex and high in cost. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the application provides a driving protection circuit for a high-power semiconductor laser.

[0004] The technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0005] A driving protection circuit for a high-power semiconductor laser, characterized by comprising a first voltage stabilizer D1, a high-power semiconductor laser D2, a second voltage stabilizer D3, a MOS transistor U1, a first voltage input terminal CONTROL, a second voltage input terminal VCC, a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a second resistor R2, a third capacitor C3, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4 and a fifth resistor R5.

[0006] Further, the first capacitor is connected at two ends to the second voltage input terminal and the first resistor respectively, the second capacitor is connected at two ends to the second voltage input terminal and the third resistor respectively, the other end of the third resistor is connected to the S pole of the MOS transistor, the D pole of the MOS transistor is connected to one end of the high-power semiconductor laser, and the G pole of the MOS transistor is connected to one end of the second voltage stabilizer.

[0007] Further, the first voltage input terminal is connected at one end to the fifth resistor, and the other end of the fifth resistor is connected to the second voltage stabilizer.

[0008] Further, the first voltage stabilizer is connected to the high-power semiconductor laser.

[0009] In the application, the CONTROL terminal is connected through discrete devices R5+D3+U1 to form a driving part of the high-power semiconductor laser. The voltage at the G pole of the MOS transistor is controlled by the voltage stabilizer D3 and the resistor R5, so that the MOS transistor is in an incomplete opening state to control the size of the current at the S pole of the MOS transistor, and the high-power semiconductor laser D2 is stably operated.

[0010] The VCC end is formed by discrete devices C3+R1+R3+D1 to constitute a protection part of the high-power laser. After energy storage, voltage division and filtering of the resistor-capacitor device, a stable voltage is provided to both ends of the high-power semiconductor laser D2, at this time, the voltage stabilizing tube D1 does not work, when a high voltage suddenly appears in the circuit, at this time, D1 starts to work to discharge the high voltage to protect the circuit.

[0011] Further, the second resistor and the third capacitor are connected in parallel between the first voltage stabilizing tube and the high-power semiconductor laser.

[0012] Further, the first voltage input end is a rectangular wave voltage input end.

[0013] Further, the second voltage input end is a direct current voltage input end.

[0014] Further, the fourth resistor is connected with the fifth resistor and the second voltage stabilizing tube respectively.

[0015] Further, the other end of the second voltage stabilizing tube is connected with one end of the third resistor.

[0016] The specific working process of the application is as follows:

[0017] 1. The CONTROL end inputs a specific frequency rectangular wave voltage, and the VCC end inputs a constant direct current voltage.

[0018] 2. The direct current voltage of the VCC end is stored, filtered and divided by C1, C2, C3, R1 and R3 to provide a stable working power source for the high-power laser.

[0019] 3. When the CONTROL end is in a high level state, by calculating and selecting appropriate voltage dividing resistor R5 and voltage stabilizing diode D3, the MOS tube can be in an incomplete conduction state to control Ids, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the high-power laser If.

[0020] 4. When the CONTROL end changes from a high level to a low level state, the MOS tube is closed, at this time, the junction capacitance charge of the MOS tube is discharged through R4 to prevent the charge from remaining to affect the switching performance, at the same time, the high-power laser stops working, and the reverse voltage caused by the parasitic inductance of the negative electrode of the high-power laser is discharged through D1 and R2 to prevent the damage of the laser caused by the reverse overvoltage.

[0021] The application realizes the constant current driving of the high-power device by adjusting the gate voltage of the MOS tube, so that the high-power laser can work stably and controllably.

[0022] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The expensive high-power laser is protected, and the service life of the high-power laser is prolonged.

[0024] 2, the current of the high-power laser is controllable, and different high-power lasers can be adapted by adjusting the G electrode voltage of the MOS tube.

[0025] 3, the MOS tube replaces a plurality of triodes and integrated circuits, reduces the circuit cost, and makes the circuit more portable and convenient for product installation and debugging. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
