EL6203 ® Data Sheet August 13, 2007 Laser Driver Oscillator Features The EL6203 is a push-pull oscillator used to reduce laser noise. It uses the standard interface to existing ROM controllers. The frequency and amplitude are each set with a separate resistor connected to ground. The tiny package and harmonic reduction allow the part to be placed close to a laser with low RF emissions. An auto turn-off feature allows it to easily be used on combo CD-RW plus DVD-ROM pick-ups. • Low power dissipation One external resistor sets the oscillator frequency. Another external resistor sets the oscillator amplitude. If the APC current is reduced such that the average laser voltage drops to less than 1.1V, the output and oscillator are disabled, reducing power consumption to a minimum. The current drawn by the oscillator consists of a small bias current, plus the peak output amplitude in the positive cycle. In the negative cycle, the oscillator subtracts peak output amplitude from the laser APC current. This part is pin-compatible to the EL6201. It is superior to the EL6201 in several ways: It has up to 100mA output capability, it is more power-efficient, it has less harmonic content, and it has an auto shut-off feature activated at 1.1V. The part is available in the space-saving 5 Ld SOT-23 package. It is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C.

It is designed to interface easily to laser diodes to break up optical feedback resonant modes and thereby reduce laser noise. The output of the EL6203 is composed of a push-pull current source, switched alternately at the oscillator frequency. The output and oscillator are automatically disabled for power saving when the average laser voltage drops to less than 1.1V. The EL6203 has the operating frequency from 60MHz to 600MHz and the output current from 10mAP-P to 100mAP-P. The supply current is only 18.5mA for the output current of 50mAP-P at the operating frequency of 350MHz. Theory of Operation A typical semiconductor laser will emit a small amount of incoherent light at low values of forward laser current. But after the threshold current is reached, the laser will emit coherent light. Further increases in the forward current will cause rapid increases in laser output power. A typical threshold current is 35mA and a typical slope efficiency is 0.7mW/mA. When the laser is lasing, it will often change its mode of operation slightly, due to changes in current, temperature, or optical feedback into the laser. In a DVD-ROM, the optical feedback from the moving disk forms a significant noise factor due to feedback-induced mode hopping. In addition to the mode hopping noise, a diode laser will roughly have a constant noise level regardless of the power level when a threshold current is exceeded. The oscillator is designed to produce a low noise oscillating current that is added to the external DC current. The effective AC current is to cause the laser power to change at the oscillator frequency. This change causes the laser to go through rapid mode hopping. The low frequency component of laser power noise due to mode hopping is translated up to sidebands around the oscillator frequency by this action. Since the oscillator frequency can be filtered out of the low frequency read and serve channels, the net result is that the laser noise seems to be reduced. The second source of laser noise reduction is caused by the increase in the laser power above the average laser power during the pushingcurrent time. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output power is better at higher laser powers because of the almost constant noise power when a threshold current is exceeded. In addition, when the laser is off during the pulling-current time, the noise is also very low. RAMP and RFREQ Value Setting and ensure that the high frequency components reach the junction without having to charge the junction capacitance. Generally, it is desirable to make the oscillator currents as large as possible to obtain the greatest reduction in laser noise. But it is not a trivial matter to determine this critical value. The amplitude depends on the wave shape of the oscillator current reaching the laser junction. If the output current is sinusoidal and the components in the output circuit are fixed and linear, then the shape of the current will be sinusoidal. But the amount of current reaching the laser junction is a function of the circuit parasitics. These parasitics can result in a resonant increase in output depending on the frequency due to the junction capacitance and layout. Also, the amount of junction current causing laser emission is variable with frequency due to the junction capacitance. In conclusion, the sizes of the RAMP and RFREQ resistors must be determined experimentally. A good starting point is to take a value of RAMP for a peak-to-peak current amplitude less than the minimum laser threshold current and a value of RFREQ for an output current close to a sinusoidal wave form (refer to the “Typical Performance Curves” on page 4). RAMP and RFREQ Pin Interfacing Figure 19 shows an equivalent circuit of pins associated with the RAMP and RFREQ resistors. VREF is roughly 1.27V for both RAMP and RFREQ. The RAMP and RFREQ resistors should be connected to the non-load side of the power ground to avoid noise pick-up. These resistors should also return to the EL6203's ground very directly to prevent noise pickup. They also should have minimal capacitance to ground. Trimmer resistors can be used to adjust initial operating points. + VREF - PIN FIGURE 19. RAMP AND RFREQ PIN INTERFACE External voltage sources can be coupled to the RAMP and RFREQ pins to effect frequency or amplitude modulation or adjustment. It is recommended that a coupling resistor of 1k be installed in series with the control voltage and mounted directly next to the pin. This will keep the inevitable highfrequency noise of the EL6203's local environment from propagating to the modulation source, and it will keep parasitic capacitance at the pin minimized. The laser should always have a forward current during operation. This will prevent the laser voltage from collapsing, 8 FN7218.3 August 13, 2007 EL6203 Supply Bypassing and Grounding The resistance of bypass-capacitors and the inductance of bonding wires prevent perfect bypass action, and 150mVP-P noise on the power lines is common. There needs to be a lossy bead inductance and secondary bypass on the supply side to control signals from propagating down the wires. Figure 20 shows the typical connection. L SERIES: 70Ω REACTANCE AT 300MHz EL6203 The supply current of the EL6203 depends on the peak-topeak output current and the operating frequency, which are determined by resistors RAMP and RFREQ. The supply current can be approximately predicted by Equation 2: Also important is circuit-board layout. At the EL6203's operating frequencies, even the ground plane is not lowimpedance. High frequency current will create voltage drops in the ground plane. Figure 21 shows the output current loops. RAMP GND SOURCING CURRENT LOOP SINKING CURRENT LOOP LASER DIODE FIGURE 21. OUTPUT CURRENT LOOPS For the pushing current loop, the current flows through the bypass capacitor, into the EL6203 supply pin, out the IOUT pin to the laser, and from the laser back to the decoupling capacitor. This loop should be small. For the pulling current loop, the current flows into the IOUT pin, out of the ground pin, to the laser cathode, and from the laser diode back to the IOUT pin. This loop should also be small. Power Dissipation With the high output drive capability, it is possible for the EL6203 to exceed the +125°C “absolute-maximum junction temperature” under certain conditions. Therefore, it is important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for the application to determine if the conditions need to be modified for the oscillator to remain in the safe operating area. 9 PDMAX = Maximum power dissipation in the package θJA = Thermal resistance of the package FIGURE 20.

Figures 22 and 23 provide a convenient way to see if the device will overheat. The maximum safe power dissipation can be found graphically, based on the package type and the ambient temperature. By using Equation 3, it is a simple matter to see if PD exceeds the device's power derating curve. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the recommended derating curve shown in Figures 22 and 23. A flex circuit may have a higher θJA, and lower power dissipation would then be required.
