Laser Diode Driver with Write Current DAC and PDIC Control Outputs
The ISL58797 is a highly integrated, single supply laser diode
Features
driver designed to support multi-standard writable optical
• Compatible with all Conventional Controllers Having a Serial
Port, with Some Programming
drives in CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray formats at various speeds. It is
a ‘hybrid’ part having an interface compatible with a
conventional LDD, but an internal architecture similar to a
write strategy LDD. This combination adds versatility to the
conventional interface. The ISL58797 also features PDIC
(OEIC) control pins; which help reduce the signal lines on the
Flex cables.
• Programmable Snubber on all Outputs
• PDIC (OEIC) Control Pins
• Compatible with Controllers Having Gray Coded WEN Lines
for Glitchless High-Speed Operation
• WEN Line Skew Detection
The rise time, fall time and overshoot of all outputs are
adjustable to compensate for high and low resistance lasers.
• 1000mA Maximum Total Write Output Current
• 10-bit x 10-bit Multiplying DAC Output Provides 10-bit
Full-Scale Adjustment and 10-bit Resolution at any Full-
Scale Output
The ISL58797 architecture includes dual write current banks,
which can be selected using the bank select line, BSEL. This
eliminates the need to synchronize the serial port to the
media.
• Three Laser Outputs Allow Read/Write DVD, CD, and Blue
Combinations
The oscillator is internally activated through program
assignment to attach to any WEN state.
• Single +5V Supply
• Analog Inputs Supports Slope and Read APC
The WEN lines have internal 100Ω termination resistors. There
is a skew detector on the WEN receiver outputs.
• HFM Oscillator Programmable to 100mA
from 100MHz to >1GHz
and Range
P-P
Applications
• Combination DVD, CD, and Blue Writable Drives
• Programmable HFM On, Off and Cooling Levels
• Programmable Spread Spectrum for Low EMI
• BD Camcorders
• Built-in ADC to Sample Laser Voltage Allows Power
Reduction by Optimizing Headroom
• BD Video Recorders
• Built-in Thermal Sensor Aids in Thermal Design
• Serial Input Works up to 50MHz
• Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant)
