Abstract
In an embodiment, a low side driver integrated circuit for a laser diode includes a reference transistor, an output transistor having a gate coupled to a gate of the reference transistor, a first transistor having a gate for receiving a pulsed signal, a drain coupled to a drain of the output transistor and a source coupled to ground, a second transistor, for obtaining a source voltage of the output transistor equal to the source voltage of the reference transistor, a first servo-control circuit for applying a drain voltage of the output transistor to the drain of the reference transistor, and a second servo-control circuit for applying a static reference voltage to the source of the reference transistor.
