EL6281C - Product Brief
4-Channel Laser Driver with APC Amp
Features
General Description
• Read + 3 Write Channel laser
driver with oscillator & fast I/V
amplifier
• Rise time = 0.8 nsec
• Fall time = 0.8 nsec
• 200V/µs I/V amplifier
• 100X gain, 100mA low noise read
channel
• 200X gain, 200mA write channel
The EL6281C is a combination read + 3 write level laser driver with
IV amplifier. A dual amplitude, dual frequency RF oscillator sums on
the output for laser noise reduction during read or write. All these
functions are provided in 24-lead QSOP and LPP packages.
The ENABLE pin enables the read & write channels. Positive current
supplied to the IIN lines, through user selected resistors, allow the full
scale range of each amplifier to be matched to the full scale range of
the users control DACs. When the WEN pins are switched low, the
respective current is summed to the output with 1ns rise and fall times.
• Two 100X gain, 100mA write
channels
• 500MHz, 100mAP-P Oscillator
with dual frequency and amplitude
control
The 100mAP-P (max) oscillator is switched on and off by the OSCEN
line. The R/W line allows the oscillator to operate at one amplitude
and frequency when R/W is high, and another amplitude and fre-
quency when R/W is low.
The entire chip is powered down when ENABLE is low. The user can
calibrate the gain of the I/V amplifier. With a slew rate around
200V/µs, the I/V amplifier can normally settle to less than 1% within
30ns.
• 3.3V compatible logic signals
• Single +5V supply
Applications
• CD-RW to 16X
• CD-R to 32X
• Writable Optical Disk Drives
