Dual-Channel Laser Diode Driver with APC Amplifier
for Multi-Beam Printers
ISL58125
Features
The ISL58125 is a high-performance dual channel laser
driver that provides controlled current to grounded laser
diodes. A bias current is summed with the switched
current at the IOUT output, allowing the user to optimize
laser diode performance.
• Voltage-controlled Output Current Source
Output switched current flows when the LVDS signal
DATA is high. The output current returns to the
fixed-threshold value when DATA is low. Complete IOUT
shut-off is achieved by holding both of the DISx pins Hi,
which will override all other control pins.
• Very Few External Components Needed
• Internal LVDS Termination Resistors
• 300MHz Switching
• 110mA Output Current per channel
• Rise Time < 500ps
• Fall Time < 500ps
• APC Loop for Write Power Control
• Fast Settling APC Amplifier
A fast settling APC amplifier connects directly to the
monitor diode. The ISL58125 does not exhibit any
time-dependent droop since the calibration gain is stored
as a digital number.
• Single +5V Supply (±10%)
Ordering Information
• Pb-Free (RoHS compliant)

APC System Overview
As the laser heats up, or ages, its output power declines
relative to the applied current, so some form of power
control is required. The laser is optically coupled to a
photo-diode, so that the laser’s optical output can be
measured. Laser optical output power is controlled by
comparing the externally applied control voltage with the
voltage produced by the IV-amplifier which converts the
photo-diode’s output current into a voltage. Since the
calibrated gain is stored as a digital number in a register,
the ISL58125 exhibits none of the time-dependent droop
that is seen in most printers' laser diode drivers. This is
of particular importance during high dot/inch graphics
modes where the line may be slowed down very
significantly to allow 2400 dots per inch or even more.

When a laser is driven from below threshold to well
above threshold, it exhibits a few cycles of a damped
oscillation. The amplitude of this oscillation is minimized
when the laser is kept above threshold. The “fixed” bias
mode is set by asserting a logic Low on the SLPEN pin. To
set the laser bias threshold currents, IBIAS, connect
external resistors from RBIAS pins to GND. Figure 1
shows value of RBIAS corresponding to desired bias
current.

Controlling the Sampling
The switching levels are sampled independently. This can
be done during the “off-paper” period.
During calibration mode, the internal servo control will
bring the laser diode output power level to match the
voltage control level set by VC voltage.

IBIAS (mA)
LOW. This can be used to detect fault conditions. Since
both channel’s overcurrent detectors are ORed together,
ERRB going low could indicate a fault in either or both
output channels. Note that the ISL58125 does not shut
itself down when an overcurrent condition is detected.
The device controller is expected to take any required
action. The maximum current is governed by Equation 3:
ITRIP (mA)
Applications Information
Typical Application
Upon the printer being powered up, the lasers should be
calibrated. This would establish nominal light power
outputs, typically a few milliwatts at the laser regardless
of the ambient temperature and also any laser aging.

Once everything is ready for printing, the paper is in
position and the mirror-motor is phase-locked then the
print line(s) can be written. Before, or after, the beam is
over the photo-sensitive drum, each laser can be recalibrated. This continual re-calibration will compensate
for any temperature drift of the laser, especially at the
initial warming up period.
Since the calibrated gain is stored as a digital number in
a register, the ISL58125 exhibits no time-dependent
droop. With no droop to degrade performance the only
limitation now is the lasers' own temperature change
along the line. This in turn can be compensated for to
some extent by adding a data-dependent compensation
signal to the analog VCx input pin. It may be found that
in fast draft modes for example, that the laser
temperature change is sufficiently small that many lines
can be written before the laser(s) need to be recalibrated. If the printed page has a low enough duty
cycle, no re-calibration may be needed at all.
The ISL58125 has analog voltage inputs to allow the
laser power level to be adjusted during the line. Typically
this would be driven with a PWM, low bandwidth signal to

compensate for the differing beam path length as the
beam is swept from one side of the page to the other.
Undervoltage, overcurrent and over-temperature error
conditions are ORed together and made available on the
ERRB pin.
Power Supply Decoupling
Due to the high values of current being switched rapidly
on and off, it is important to ensure that the power
supply is well decoupled to ground. During switching, the
VCC undergoes severe current transients, thus every
effort should be made to decouple the VCC as close to
the package as possible. Symptoms that could arise
include poor rise/fall times, current overshoot, and poor
settling response. It is recomended that VCC inputs
should be bypassed with 4.7µF // 100nF // 470pF to
GND.
Inductance will be in series with the decoupling capacitor
at the rate of about 0.6nH/mm of trace or capacitor
distance. Thus for a 3mm loop from VCC through the
capacitor to ground, 300mA in 1ns will produce 540mV
transient on the VCC-GND voltage.
