ELANTEC EL6240C

Dual Laser Driver with APC Amp
Features
General Description
• Read + 2 write channel laser driver
with oscillator and fast I/V
amplifier plus a separate ROM
laser driver with oscillator
• 200V/µs I/V amplifier
• 100X gain, 100mA low noise read
channel
• 250X gain, 250mA and 150X gain,
150mA write channels
• 500MHz, 100mAP-P oscillator
• Write rise/fall times = 0.8ns
• Single +5V supply
The EL6240C is a combination read + 2 write level laser driver and IV
amplifier, with an extra read + oscillator ROM channel for use in duallaser ‘combo’ applications. A separate (amplitude and frequency)
oscillator modulates the selected output for laser noise reduction during read or write.
Applications
Combo CD-RW + DVD-ROM
CD-RW to 16X
CD-R to 32X
Writable optical disk drives
Ordering Information
The CD pin, when high, selects the CD (write) laser. Positive current
supplied to the IIN lines, through a user selected external resistor,
allow the full scale range of each amplifier to be matched to the full
scale range of the users control DACs. When the write laser is
selected, and the WEN pins are switched low, the respective current is
summed to the output with 1ns rise and fall times. When the CD pin is
low, the ROM laserdiode is driven by output IOUT2, and no current
will appear at output IOUT1.
The 100mAP-P (max) oscillator is switched on and off by the OSCEN
line. The CD line allows the oscillator to operate at different amplitudes and frequencies for each laser.
The entire chip is powered down when ENABLE is low. The user can
define the gain of the I/V amplifier. With a slew rate of 200V/µs, the
I/V amplifier can normally settle to 1% within 30ns.
