GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9662 is a laser diode driver for high performance CD
and DVD recordable drives. It includes three channels for three
different optical power levels: the read channel generates a
continuous output power level, whereas Channel 2 and
Channel 3 are used as write channels having 0.8 ns rise/fall
times. All channel currents are summed at the I
channel’s output current is established by multiplying the
channel’s gain by the channel’s input current. The input current
for each of the input channels—INR, IN2, and IN3—can be set
either by using an external resistor that converts an input
voltage to a current or by directly using a current source.
An on-chip oscillator is provided to allow output current
modulation (to reduce laser mode hopping). Two external
resistors control the frequency and the amplitude swing of the
oscillator. The push-pull oscillator can swing up to 100 mA p-p
and has a frequency range of 200 MHz to 500 MHz.
