Abstract:
Implementations described herein disclose a laser diode driver that allows switching low-voltage (LV) high-speed devices with while driving high voltage current to a laser diode without risking destroying the LV devices. Specifically, the laser diode driver disclosed herein is a pulsed high speed digital to analog (DAC) driver that uses high-speed LV transistors in advanced nodes for high-speed switching of current nodes.

Claim (Index 18):
A laser diode array driver, comprising:\n a digital to analog converter (DAC) module for driving a laser diode array, wherein the DAC module operates in high voltage domain; a switching module for switching the DAC module, wherein the reference module operates in a low voltage domain; and a reference current generation module for generating reference current for the DAC module, wherein the current generation module operates in the low voltage domain and is separated from the DAC module by a bias section configured between the DAC module and the reference current generation module to protect the reference current generation module from transient spikes generated by the inductive load.
