Intersil EL6838
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. The timing is determined by the signals at OUTEN2, OUTEN3, and OUTEN4.FEATURES
● Two channels for CD or DVD● Voltage-controlled output current source requiring one external set resistor per channel
● Rise time = 0.8ns
● Fall time = 0.8ns
● Channel 2 to 250mA max
● Channel 3 to 150mA max
● Channel 4 to 100mA max
● On chip oscillator with frequency and amplitude control by use of external resistors to ground
● Oscillator frequency to 600MHz
● Oscillator amplitude to 100mAP-P
● Single +5V supply (±10%)
● Chip Enables for power savings
