EL6838 Datasheet Dual 4-Channel Driver

Manufacturer: Intersil (now Renesas)

Overview

® EL6838 www.DataSheet4U.com PRELIMINARY Data Sheet June 30, 2003 FN7228 Dual 4-Channel Driver with Oscillator The EL6838 is a high performance, dual output, laser driver for writeable ‘super-combo’ CD - DVD drives.

The ENA pin enables the chip, while the SEL1 pin selects the IOUT pin.

Various waveforms can be generated where the amplitude is determined by the currents flowing into IINR, IIN2, IIN3, and IIN4.
