Laser Diode Driver w/ Waveform Generator
Features
The EL6935 is a highly integrated
laser diode driver designed to support
multi-standard writable optical drives.
• Complete programmable laser diode driver
• 450mA maximum total output
• 10-bit x 10-bit multiplying DAC output provides 10-bit full
scale adjustment and 10-bit resolution at any full scale
output
It accomplishes this by incorporating a waveform generator
wherein the diode currents and timing details can be
programmed before operation. The data input circuitry
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. The part also has an
IV amplifier with concurrent read and write sampling. The
gains of the IV amplifier are programmable, eliminating the
need for external potentiometers.
• 60psec timer resolution
• Two laser outputs allows read/ write DVD and CD
combinations
• Programmable waveform values support CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and
Blue
• Two analog inputs support slope and read APC
The architecture allows reprogramming of the timers to
support different media, Blue, 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 clock and NRZ
inputs can be either standard CMOS or LVDS, selectable
through a program bit.
• HFM oscillator programmable to 100mA
to 500MHz
from 100MHz
P-P
• PLL allows reduced-frequency clock on flex cable
• Separate serial input works up to 100MHz
• Dual sampled IV amplifier with programmable sample
select and gain select
The EL6935 operates on a 5V supply for the analog circuits
and a 2.5V supply for the digital circuits.
• Programmable HFM offset when HFM is off
