Abstract
A driver circuit may include a source, a first circuit path, and a second circuit path. The a first circuit path may be connected to the source and include a first anode pad, a first set of connecting elements to connect the first anode pad to an anode of an optical load, a second anode pad that is separate from the first anode pad, a second set of connecting elements to connect the anode of the optical load to the second anode pad, and a switch. The switch being in a closed state causes current to charge the first set of connecting elements and the second set of connecting elements through the first circuit path. The switch transitioning from the closed state to the open state causes the first set of connecting elements to discharge current through the second circuit path to provide an electrical pulse to the optical load.
