Elantec EL6259CU Laser driver with ocillator and apc Datasheet

Laser Driver with Ocillator and APC
Features
General Description
• Low output noise = 4.0nA/rt-Hz
• High-performance laser diode
driver
• Pin compatible with EL6257
• Voltage-controlled output current
source to 150 mA per channel,
requiring one external set resistor
per channel
• Current-controlled output current
source to 150 mA per channel
• Rise time = 1.0 ns
• Fall time = 1.1 ns
• On chip oscillator with frequency
and amplitude control by use of
external resistors to ground
• Oscillator to 500 MHz
• Oscillator to 100 mA pk/pk
• Single +5V supply (±10%)
• Disable feature for power-up
protection and power savings
• TTL/CMOS control signals
The EL6270C is a high-performance single channel laser diode power
regulator and oscillator for a grounded cathode laser diode and photodiode system. The EL6270C’s APC (Automatic Power Controller) will
set the average laser diode input current for a desired average photodiode output current. The APC can provide up to 100 mA of DC
current.
Applications
•
•
•
•
DVD-RAM high speed drives
CD-RW applications
Writable optical drives
Laser diode current switching
EL6270C - Product Brief
EL6270C - Product Brief
An on-chip programable oscillator is provided to allow current modulation of the output laser current. Two external resistors control of
amplitude and frequency. The Oscillator can provide up to 100mA
pk/pk.
A disable function is included which reduces supply current to less
than 5µA.
