AD9660 Overview
The AD9660 is a highly integrated driver for laser diode applications such as optical disk drives, printers, and copiers. The AD9660 gets feedback from an external photo detector and includes two analog feedback loops to allow users to set “bias” and “write” (for optical disk drives) power levels of the laser, and switch between the two power levels at up to 200 MHz. Output rise and fall times are typically 1.5 ns...
