Description
The T0 800 is a la ser diod e driver for the ope ration of two different, grou nded las er
diodes for DVD-RAM (650 nm) and CD-RW (780 nm). It includes five channels for five
different op tical power levels which are co ntrol led by a separate IC. The read chan nel
generates a c ontinuou s ou tput l evel. The chan nels 2 to 5 are provided as wr ite c han-
nels with ve ry fast switchin g speeds. When a ‘low’ signal is applied to the NE pins,
write current pulses are enabled. All channels are summed together and switched to
one of the two outp uts IOUTA or IOUTB by the selec t input S ELA. Eac h channe l can
contribute up to 200 mA to the total output current of up to 250 mA. A total gain of 100
is provided between each reference current input and the selected output. Although
the reference inputs are c urrent inpu ts, voltage control is possible by using external
resistors. An on-chip RF oscil lator reduces laser mode hopping noi se during read
mode. Frequency and swing can be set independently for the two selectable outputs
with two pairs of resistors. Oscillation is enabled by a ‘high’ signal at the ENOSC pin.
Complete output cur rent and oscil lator sw itch-off is ach ieved by a ‘low’ signal at the
ENABLE inp ut.
