ATR0808 Overview
The ATR0808 is a laser diode driver for the operation of two different grounded laser diodes for DVD-RW/DVD+RW (650 nm) and CD-RW (780 nm). It includes three channels for three different optical power levels which are controlled by a separate IC. The read channel generates a continuous output level, whereas the channels 2 and 3 are provided as write channels with very fast switching speeds.
