EL6290C - Product Brief
Laser Diode Driver with Waveform Generator
Features
General Description
• Complete programmable laser
diode driver
• 250mA maximum output
• 8bit x 8bit multiplying DAC output
provides 8bit full scale adjustment
and 8bit resolution at any full scale
output
The EL6290C is a highly integrated laser diode driver designed to sup-
port multi-standard writable optical drives. It accomplishes this by
incorporating a waveform generator wherein the diode currents and
timing details can be programmed before operation. The data input cir-
cuitry inspects the NRZ serial data waveform and generates
programmed waveforms in recognition of 3, 4, 5, or 6 or more clock
periods of space changing to 3, 4, 5, or 6 or more clock periods of
mark, and vice versa.
• 0.5ns timer resolution
• Two laser outputs allows
read/write DVD and CD
combinations
• Programmable waveform values
support 2.6GB DVD-RAM, 4.7GB
DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD+RW,
DVD-RW, CD-RW, and CD-R
This programmable architecture allows reprogramming of the timers
to support different media, DVD or CD standards, and different
speeds. The programming is accomplished through a serial interface
port. Two outputs are provided to support dual-laser multi-standard
optical heads.
The EL6290C operates on a 5V supply, but has a separate logical
interface supply for 3.3V interface operation.
• Analog input supports APC
• HFM oscillator programmable to
100mAp-p from 200 to 500MHz
• PLL allows reduced-frequency
clock on flex cable
The EL6290C is availiable in a 24-lead QSOP, or in a 32-lead QFN
package for improved thermal performance and reduced board area
usage.
• Separate serial input works up to
25Mb/sec
