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.

APPLICATIONS
The AD9662 uses the current at one or more of its three
, I
inputs—I
INR
IN2
, and I
proportional to the input currents. Channel R has a typical gain
of 135 mA/mA, Channel 2 has a typical gain of 130 mA/mA,
and Channel 3 has a typical gain of 260 mA/mA. The input
impedance of Channel R and Channel 2 is typically 200 Ω, and
the input impedance of Channel 3 is typically 100 Ω. In most
cases, a voltage output DAC is used to set the dc current of
these channels. A series resistor should be placed between each
DAC’s output and its respective input channel. These resistors
should be chosen to properly scale the input current while not
excessively loading the output of the DAC.
Channel R is used to provide bias current to the laser diode, and
Channel 2 and Channel 3 are used to set the amplitudes of the
current pulses that are required to write or erase the media. The
output pulses are created by applying TTL level pulses to the
channel enable pins while dc current is flowing into the input
pins. Channel 2 and Channel 3 are turned on and off according
to a predetermined write strategy (see
Due to the fast rise and fall time (<1 ns) required for the
operation of higher speed drives, trace lengths carrying high
speed signals, such as ENR, EN2, EN3, and the output current,
should be kept as short as possible to minimize series inductance.
A decoupling capacitor should be located near each V
and the ground return for the cathode of the laser diode should
be kept as short as possible.
Rise time, t
, is defined as the time a pulse requires to transition
r
from 10% of its final value to 90% of its final value. Appropriately,
fall time, t
, is defined as the time a pulse requires to go from
f
90% of its initial value to 10% of its initial value.
Propagation delay is defined as the time when a transitioning
logic signal reaches 50% of its amplitude to when the output
current, I
, reaches 50% of its amplitude.

TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS
The AD9662 is in a 16-lead QSOP. JEDEC methods were used
to determine the θ
efficient thermally conductive test board (or 4-layer board).
This board is made of FR4, is 1.60 mm thick, and consists of
four copper layers. The two internal layers are solid copper

This junction temperature is within the maximum recommended
operating junction temperature of 150°C. Of course, this is not
a realistic method for mounting a laser diode driver in an
optical storage device. In an actual application, the laser diode
driver would most likely be mounted to a flexible circuit board.
The θ
of a system is highly dependent on board layout and
JA
material. The user must consider these conditions carefully.
Some of the circuitry of the AD9662 can be used to monitor the
internal junction temperature. The AD9662 uses diodes to
protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Every input pin
has a diode between it and ground, with the anode connected to
ground and the cathode connected to the particular input pin.
The base-emitter junction of a PNP transistor is used for ESD
protection from each pin to V
connected to the substrate of the die (see
. The collector is electrically
CC
Figure 15). The baseemitter junction of this transistor can be used to monitor the
internal die temperature of the IC.
Using a 10 V source at the enable pin to forward-bias the
base-emitter junction and a 1 MΩ resistor to limit the current, a
2-point measurement can be used to calculate the junction
temperature of the IC. Because the enable pin (ENABLE) needs
to be a logic high for normal operation, the AD9662 can be
operated with the 10 V applied through the 1 MΩ resistor.
The first point is obtained by measuring the voltage, V1, with
= 0 immediately after the AD9662 is turned on. The case

OUT
temperature, T1, can be measured using a thermocouple. The
temperature of the case is measured immediately after the IC is
turned on, and that temperature is the temperature of the
transistor junction and of the die itself. Through characterization
of the AD9662, it was determined that the forward-bias voltage
of the base-emitter junction of the transistor decreases by
1.9 mV for every 1°C rise in junction temperature.
The second point of the 2-point measurement is obtained when
the AD9662 is operated under load. I
is adjusted until the
OUT
increase in supply current is 200 mA. The AD9662 is allowed to
reach thermal equilibrium, and then the voltage, V2, is measured.
The voltage measurements taken with the IC running are lower
than the actual base-emitter drop across the transistor due to
the voltage drops across the internal resistance that is in series
with the supply current (see
Figure 15). This finite resistance
was calculated to be approximately 120 mΩ. Therefore, for a
supply current change of 200 mA, the ΔV
calculation is
BE
24 mV too low. Therefore, 24 mV must be added to the
difference in measured voltages. The change in the baseemitter voltage is then calculated.

power-up, V1 was measured to be 593 mV.
The supply current was 27 mA. The AD9662 was adjusted to
deliver 200 mA into a 10 Ω load. This resulted in a total supply
current of 244 mA. After allowing the part to reach thermal
equilibrium, V2 measured 412 mV. The voltage drop across the
120 mΩ internal resistor due to the change in supply current
was then calculated.
(244 mA – 27 mA) × 120 mΩ = 26 mV
This 26 mV internal voltage drop was then added to the
measured voltage reduction to determine the actual ΔV

The die temperature change measured 82.4°C. The output of

Resistor R11 should not be installed. If the enable pins are driven from external signal sources, then these resistors should be
installed, and the jumpers are not necessary.
