Whereas typical APC products exhibit degradation of bandwidth and slower settling times at higher gain levels, the SP8027 features constant bandwidth (150MHz) and fast settling times (5ns) across the entire gain adjust range. With its integrated photo detector, the SP8027 monitors light intensity of the laser diode in CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, and DVD-RAM assemblies and converts this light to an output voltage. The magnitude of this voltage signal corresponds to the laser power intensity and is subsequently fed back to the laser diode driver to control the laser output power. The SP8027 on-chip photo detector transforms incident laser light into a proportional current, which is then converted to a voltage through a trans-impedance amplifier. The SP8027 achieves an unparalleled level of performance by combining excellent DC stability and low noise with outstanding AC performance. The SP8027 is offered with a nominal sensitivity 3600 V/W and is packaged in a 3.0 x 3.5 mm, 8lead OPLGA package. Rev 0.0 11/22/04.
