  High Voltage, Low Noise, DC/DC Converters &mdash AN118
  PDF, 2.6 Mb, File published: Mar 28, 2008
  Photomultipliers (PMT), avalanche photodiodes (APD), ultrasonic transducers, capacitance microphones, radiation detectors and similar devices require high voltage, low current bias. Additionally, the high voltage must be pristinely free of noise; well under a millivolt is a common requirement with a few hundred microvolts sometimes necessary. Normally, switching regulator configurations cannot achieve this performance level without employing special techniques. One aid to achieving low noise is that load currents rarely exceed 5mA. This freedom permits output filtering methods that are usually impractical.

  High Voltage, Low Noise, DC/DC Converters
  A Kilovolt with 100 Microvolts of Noise
  Jim Williams This publication describes a variety of circuits featuring
  outputs from 200V to 1000V with output noise below 100ВµV
  measured in a 100MHz bandwidth. Special techniques
  enable this performance, most notably power stages
  optimized to minimize high frequency harmonic content.
  Although sophisticated, all examples presented utilize
  standard, commercially available magnetics—no custom
  components are required. This provision is intended to
  assist the user in quickly arriving at a produceable design.
  Circuits and their descriptions are presented beginning
  with the next ink.

  Linear Technology Magazine Circuit Collection, Volume IV &mdash AN84
  PDF, 2.4 Mb, File published: Apr 1, 2000
  Application Note 84 is a collection of "power circuits" from the years 1996 through 1998 as seen in the pages of Linear Technology magazine. This Application Note collects circuits that can output tens of amps to circuits that can operate a handheld device for several years. In addition to a wide variety of traditional power supply circuits (Buck, Boost, Inverting, Flyback, Linear Regulators, etc.) we include circuits for charging batteries, several Power Management circuits as well as circuits that highlight a very low noise switching regulator.

  Power Products
  Richard Markell, Editor
  INTRODUCTION
  Application Note 84 is the fourth in a series that excerpts
  useful circuits from Linear Technology magazine to preserve them for posterity. This application note highlights
  “power” circuits from issue VI:1 (February 1996) through
  issue VIII:4 (November 1998). Another application note
  will feature data conversion, interface and signal processing circuits from the same era. Like its predecessor, AN 66,
  this Application Note includes circuits that can power
  most any system you can imagine, from “server” power
  supplies that generate in excess of 50 amps to micropower systems for portable and handheld equipment.
  Also included are power converters that can be voltage programmed using Intel’s VID code. Charge pump converters, linear regulators and battery charger circuits are
  included here, with Li-Ion batteries receiving extra attention. There are, of course, circuits that cannot be so simply
  categorized. Come browse. I’ll get out of the way and let
  the authors describe their creations.
  Note: Article Titles appear in this application note exactly
  as they originally appeared in Linear Technology magazine. This may result in some inconsistency in the usage
  of terminology. TABLE OF CONTENTS

  Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers: A Compendium of Pleasant Current Events &mdash AN90
  PDF, 409 Kb, File published: Apr 1, 2002
  A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added to the signal. The current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/or optical component destruction. This application note describes ten laser current source circuits with a range of capabilities. High and low current types are presented, along with designs for grounded anode, cathode or floating operation. Each circuit also includes laser protection features. Appended sections cover laser load simulation and current source noise measurement techniques.

  Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers
  A Compendium of Pleasant Current Events
  Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corporation
  INTRODUCTION
  A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC
  current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with
  modulation added further along the signal path. The
  current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes
  an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a
  number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current
  source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/
  or optical component destruction. Protection features must be included to prevent laser and
  optical component damage. The laser, an expensive and
  delicate device, must be protected under all conditions,
  including supply ramp up and down, improper control
  input commands, open or intermittent load connections
  and “hot plugging.”
  Detailed Discussion of Performance Issues Design Criteria for Fiber Optic Laser Current Sources It is useful to expand on the above cursory discussion to
  clarify design goals. As such, each previously called out
  issue is treated in greater detail below. Figure 1 shows a conceptual laser current source. Inputs
  include a current output programming port, an output …
