Some people use two drivers at the same time when they are building around a diode
that can handle more current than a single driver can provide.
Also, waste heat production is distributed over two ICs instead of one.
What do you mean "load a driver"?
People commonly use a TEST LOAD to correctly adjust the current the driver delivers before soldering it
to the diode.
That what you meant?
If the person who sells you the driver explicitly does the adjusting for you, then no you
don't need one.
Might I ask what diode this is for?
The ones I'm aware of that can take 800ma can take much more than that, too!
Are you planning a "medium-powered" 445nm?
