The AD9664 is a laser diode driver for high performance
CD-RW and DVD recordable drives. It includes four channels
for four different optical power levels: the Read Channel gener-
ates a continuous output power level, whereas Channel 1,
Channel 2, and Channel 3 can be used as write channels that
can be controlled with an LVDS or TTL interface. The OSCEN
pin is controlled by a TTL signal. All channels are summed at
the selected LD output pin where Write Channel 1 can contrib-
ute a minimum 325 mA maximum output current, and
Write Channel 2 and Write Channel 3 can contribute a mini-
mum of 250 mA and 150 mA, respectively. The level of the out-
put current is set by an external resistor, which converts this
voltage into a current at the xSET pin.

An on-chip oscillator is provided to allow output current
modulation and to reduce laser mode hopping. Four external
resistors permit the setting of two distinct values for the
frequency and swing of the oscillator. The oscillator can output
up to 100 mA p-p of current (push-pull oscillator) with a
frequency range of 200 MHz to 500 MHz.
