Laser Diode Driver with Waveform
Generator
Features
• Complete programmable laser diode driver
The EL6938 is a highly integrated
laser diode driver designed to support
• 500mA 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
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 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.
• 54 psec 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
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.
• Two analog inputs support slope and read APC
• 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
• Programmable HFM offset when HFM is off
• Pb-free available
The EL6938 requires 2.5V and 5V supplies, with all the
logical interface operating on the 2.5V supply.
Applications
• Combination DVD writable and CD writable drives
• DVD camcorders
• DVD video recorders

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material
sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin
plate termination finish, which is 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-020B.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
