Dual High Speed Laser Driver
Features
The HIP9022 Dual High Speed Laser Driver is designed to
operate with a constant current drain from the power supply.
This current defines the laser operating power. The current is
accurately controlled in the range of 0.5A to 2A to deliver
constant optical power from the laser when used with an
external Power FET and Power Sense resistor. The operating
circuit allows flexibility in choosing driver current levels.
• Dual High Speed Laser Driver with Data Rates up to
2.5MHz
Eight S/H circuits are multiplex bus controlled to provide
analog data for the dual laser drivers. The bus is updated
during the blanking period of the laser printer scan with a
data rate up to 2.5MHz. A “thermo-electric-cooler” control
circuit provides temperature control of the laser. Two on-chip
ESD diodes protect each laser.
A principle advantage of the Dual High Speed Laser Driver is
accomplished by managing the high currents externally with
discrete Power FETs and thereby not forcing large switching
currents to exist on the same IC substrate with the precision
control circuitry.
• 0.5A to 2A Range of Constant Current Source Controlled
to 0.1% Full Scale
• Low Signal Transients with Controlled Constant Current
Switching
• Laser Optical Power Controlled to Better than 0.5%
• Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) Circuit to Control
Temperature to within 0.25oC
• Multiplexed Sample/Hold (S/H) Bus Interface
• Serial Diagnostic Bus with Multiplexed Output
• High Current ESD Diodes for Laser Diode Protection
Applications
• Dual Laser Printer Driver

Idle Condition (S/H Pin Defeated) (Note 3)
NOTES:
3. The Idle address is protective in that SB_H input noise cannot disturb the chip if the Idle address is selected; also, the Address inputs are High
(selecting Idle state) if the pins are open.
4. Address Numbers 9 - 11 are shaded to indicate test mode conditions and are shown for information only. These addresses are used in original
production testing and not required for user applications. However, note that Address No. 15 will force a reset for Address Numbers 9 - 14.
5. Digital Programming: To set the digital addresses, only the proper digital address and a negative pulse >100ns on SB_H is needed. To reset the
digital addresses to the default states, Address 15 and a SB_H pulse >100ns is needed. Normally the digital addresses will be set first, and the
analog addresses programmed next. The test modes, Address Numbers 9 - 11, will normally only be used during factory testing. An address
15 Reset should normally precede most programming in order to assure that the digital address states begin in their default state. Otherwise,
the digital address states will be undefined because there is no power-up-reset.
6. Analog Programming: To program the eight S/H circuits, addresses of 0-5V analog signal on VIN and negative pulses on NullB (10µs) and SB_H
(20µs) pins are needed. The NullB pulse is valid only during the SB_H pulse and should occur during the first half of the SB_H pulse. The S/H
amplifier is auto-zeroed for zero offset when both NullB and SB_H are low. The input VIN is captured on the S/H storage capacitor during SB_H low.

Circuit Block Descriptions
Laser Drive Circuitry
In Figure 3, the gate of the external current source Power
FET, Q2 is driven via the Operational Transconductance
Amplifier (OTA), A2 on the IC. The voltage on the current
sense resistor, RS in the source of the Power FET is
monitored by a X10 gain of the feedback amplifier, A1. The
stability of the current loop is established with an external
0.1µF capacitor to ground at the gate of the Power FET. The
sampled voltage range is 0 to 0.5V when the proper value of
sense resistor, RS is chosen (typically 0.25Ω for 2A). The
OTA, A2 compares the X10 gain signal to a 0 to 5V reference
signal from an on-chip Sample and Hold (First S/H) circuit.
The Q2 drain current (Laser Drive current), IDL is:
V IN ( DL )
I DL = ------------------------( R S × 10 )
(EQ. 1)
where VIN(DL) is the programmed VIN for the First S/H
voltage reference signal.
The S/H reference for the Laser Drive Current current is
updated with other multiplexed S/H circuits from a serial bus
and an off-chip D/A converter. Laser constant current is fully
controllable by the multiplex analog S/H bus, allowing accurate
calibration of the laser output and corrections as the laser ages.
In Figure 1, the laser drive current from Q2 is digitally switched
to either flow through or is shunted around the laser diode by
switching the external Shunt Power FET, Q3 on or off. The gate
of the Shunt FET is switched between two voltages (Upper and
Lower) which are provide by 2nd and 3rd S/H circuits. These
Shunt FET gate drive levels are fully programmable via the
multiplexed analog S/H bus. By adjusting these levels to
account for the laser power supply, the Shunt FET threshold
and channel resistance; minimum Shunt FET gate drive power
levels can be established. The Upper and Lower gate voltage
driver circuits are two high current OTA amplifiers with two filter
capacitors. The upper voltage is programmable in the 0V to
VCC range at the input of amplifier A4. The lower voltage is
programmable in the range of -4V to VCC. The -4V extension is
accomplished by an optional on-chip voltage inverter circuit.
The input to amplifier A3 is either direct from the S/H input or
inverted by amplifier A5.
A laser cools after it has been off for a period of time and is
more efficient when it is turned-on. Compensation for the
increased efficiency is made by slightly reducing the
current level of the constant current source FET. The level
will be reduced by a programmable amount of 0 to 5% of
full scale. The programmable amount is fixed by the level of
compensation to S/H addresses 7 and 8 (see Table 1). The
percent of modulation (change) in drive current is
calculated as follows:
V IN ( TC )
Modulation °⁄ = --------------------- × 5°⁄
°
°
V IN ( DL )
For example, if we control the Laser Drive current with 2V
programmed with address 1 and 2 for the First S/H’s, given
that VIN(DL) = 2V and RS = 0.25Ω. Then, from EQ. 1,
IDL = VIN(DL)/(RS x 10) = 2/(0.25 x 10) = 0.8A.
If 2V is programmed to addresses 7 and 8 as Thermal
Compensation, VIN(TC) for the 4th S/H’s, then,
Mod.% = (2/2) x 5% = 5%.
In Figure 3, the correction is applied from the output of the
Thermal Compensation circuit (where the current is
2V/20kΩ = 0.1mA) to the input of amplifier A2. The 0.1mA is
forced into the 1kΩ resistor (and the low Z output of A1) to
increase the voltage at the inverting input of A2 by 0.1V or 5%
of the +VIN(DL) input (2V) to A2. The modulation input is limited
by the 0 to VCC input range of S/H maximum VIN.

The maximum laser on-off switching speeds are dependent
on the selection of Shunt FETs. A Harris dual
complementary MOSFET, RF3V49092 or RF3S49092 has
been designed specifically for this application. With the
constant current set at 0.8A, a typical laser switching speed
of 20ns has been measured.
A 4th S/H circuit is used to set the amplitude of an optional
thermal compensation signal which can be used to
modulate the constant laser current source as a two pole
filtered effect of the laser on-off data. This feature may be
disabled when it is not required. This circuit is designed to
compensate for the temperature variations in the laser as
the laser is turned on and off. The bypass capacitors at the
Thermal Comparator (CTCx-10K, CTCx-27K) represent the
respective poles for the filter.

Both analog and digital data is input to control the action of
the dual laser driver. Address codes and input data are
described in the Table 1 Address Map. Digital data is
normally entered first, followed by the analog data via the
multiplexed analog bus which updates the S/H stored
voltage levels. Four bit digital addresses to pins A3, A2, A1
and A0 are decoded to define the programming functions
for data input. It is important to note that Address 15 is a
reset for Addresses 9 - 14 and should be performed as the
first step in programming because there is no power-onreset on-chip.
resistor and drives the gate of the TEC FET driver. As such,
the TEC circuit senses the thermo-resistor input as a
measure of the laser temperature and the TEC drive is
adjusted to maintain a stable Laser temperature slightly
below the ambient temperature. An external Power FET is
needed to provide the high TEC driver currents. An out of
range temperature output for each laser is also provided.
Laser Protection Diodes
Another feature included on the chip is two high current ESD
diodes which, in the printer system, are used to protect the
Laser Diodes from ESD damage. Another component of Laser
protection in printer systems are relays to disconnect the
Lasers when in a non-operating mode. For this purpose, a
single relay driver is included.
Diagnostic Output Data
For the purpose of monitoring on-chip signals, the
multiplexed bus can be used to output signals (at the DIAG
pin) via an analog diagnostic amplifier. This mode has the
capability to monitor the multiplexed output of four (0-5V)
analog signals for each laser channel. Note that the
diagnostic information at the VLOW (Amplifier A3) output is
2:1 resistor divided to +5V (VCC) to return this signal to a 0
to 5V range. To minimize noise problems the monitoring
function is normally performed during the laser scan for only
one signal per scan. In addition, there are 3 test modes
which allows the bus to present analog signals for testing the
performance of the eight S/H circuits.
Over Current Flag Output (OC1, OC2)
Over-current detection is also included on-chip. The circuit of
Figure 3 shows the over current detection circuit. For each
laser source current driver, the over current monitor compares
the S/H input of amplifier A2 to the output of amplifier A1. If
the output voltage of A1 exceeds the input of A2 by 40%, then
an over current state exists and the OC output will go high.
Invert Option
An INVERT input reconfigures the device such that the
constant current source can be high side instead of the
normal low side. This provides functionality for driving laser
diodes in a common cathode configuration as opposed to
the normal common anode configuration. The INVERT must
be low (or open with the internal pull down) for the Figure 1
circuit.
Thermo-Electric-Cooler (TEC) Circuitry
Figure 4 shows the Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC) drive
circuit with an external reference resistance, a thermoresistor to sense temperature plus feedback components for
stable drive. There is a thermo-resistor reference input on
the chip for monitoring the laser's temperature via a 5-10kΩ
thermo-resistor which must be mounted near the laser. A
reference voltage on the external reference resistor is
established by a current from a stable bias source. This
current is mirrored to the thermo-resistor (one for each laser
driver system). A comparator senses the voltage across the
reference resistor versus the voltage across the thermo-
Reset Action
The RESETB (active low) controls three things:
(1) The TEC driver is turned off.
(2) The Shunt driver is turned on to turn off the laser.
(3) The Constant current driver is turned off.
