SHUNT DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR LASER DIODE WITH PUSH PULL ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A shunt driver for driving an LD is disclosed. The shunt driver has the push-pull architecture with the high side driver and the low side driver. The high side driver is driven by a positive phase signal superposed with a signal with a phase opposite to the negative phase signal. The low side driver is driven by a negative phase signal superposed with a signal with a phase opposite to the positive phase signal. Adjusting the magnitude of the superposed signals, the driving current for the LD has the peaking in the rising and falling edges thereof.
