Laser Driver Oscillator
Features
The EL6203 is a push-pull oscillator used to reduce laser
noise. It uses the standard interface to existing ROM
controllers. The frequency and amplitude are each set with a
separate resistor connected to ground. The tiny package
and harmonic reduction allow the part to be placed close to a
laser with low RF emissions. An auto turn-off feature allows
it to easily be used on combo CD-RW plus DVD-ROM
pick-ups.
• Low power dissipation
• User-selectable frequency from 60MHz to 600MHz
controlled with a single resistor
• User-specified amplitude from 10mA
controlled with a single resistor
to 100mA
P-P
P-P
• Auto turn-off threshold
• Soft edges for reduced EMI
• Small 5 Ld SOT-23 package
• Pb-free available (RoHS compliant)
One external resistor sets the oscillator frequency. Another
external resistor sets the oscillator amplitude. If the APC
current is reduced such that the average laser voltage drops
to less than 1.1V, the output and oscillator are disabled,
reducing power consumption to a minimum.
Applications
• DVD players
• DVD-ROM drives
• CD-RW drives
• MO drives
The current drawn by the oscillator consists of a small bias
current, plus the peak output amplitude in the positive cycle.
In the negative cycle, the oscillator subtracts peak output
amplitude from the laser APC current.
This part is pin-compatible to the EL6201. It is superior to the
EL6201 in several ways: It has up to 100mA output
• General purpose laser noise reduction
capability, it is more power-efficient, it has less harmonic
content, and it has an auto shut-off feature activated at 1.1V.

NOTE: These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ
special Pb-free material sets; molding compounds/die attach
materials and 100% matte tin plate PLUS ANNEAL - e3 termination
finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and
Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free products are MSL
classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed
the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
