FEATURES

• Supports a wide range of voltage output mechanisms

• RF amplifier designed for audio and video applications

with data rates up to a maximum of n = 4 times speed

• Programmable RF gain for CD-Audio/Video (CD-A/V) and CD-Read/Write (CD-R/W) discs

• Adjustable equalizer for n = 1 or n = 2 times speed

• Fully Automatic Laser Power Control (ALPC) including

stabilization plus a separate laser supply voltage for power efficiency

• Adjustable current range of ALPC output

• Automatic N- or P-substrate monitor diode selection

• Adjustable laser bandwidth and laser switch-on current

slope using external capacitor

• Protection circuit to prevent laser damage due to laser supply voltage dip

• Optimized interconnection between data amplifier and Philips’ digital signal processor CD10 (SAA7324)

• Wide supply voltage range

• Power-down switch to reduce power consumption

during standby

• Low power consumption.

The RF bandwidth allows this device to be used in CD-A/V and CD-R/W applications with a data rate up to a maximum of n = 4 times speed. The RF gain can be adapted for CD-A/V discs or CD-R/W discs by means of the gain select signal.

The equalizer can be adjusted for n = 1 or n = 2 times speed with the equalizer/speed select signal. For n = 4 times speed the RF is not equalized.

The TZA1024 can be adapted to a wide range of voltage output mechanisms by means of external resistors.

The ALPC circuit will maintain control over the laser diode current. With an on-chip reference voltage generator, a constant and stabilized output power is ensured independent of ageing. The ALPC can accommodate N- or P-substrate monitor diodes.

TZA1024

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TZA1024 is a data amplifier and laser supply circuit for voltage output mechanisms found in a wide range of audio and video CD systems. The device contains an RF amplifier and an automatic laser power control circuit.

The preamplifier forms a versatile, programmable interface for voltage output CD mechanisms to the Philips’ digital signal processor CD10 (SAA7324).

A separate supply voltage connection for the laser allows the internal power dissipation to be reduced by connecting a low voltage supply. The laser output current range can be optimized to fit the requirements of the laser diode by means of one external resistor. When a DC-to-DC converter is used, in combination with the control loop of the ALPC, the adjustable output current range provides the possibility to compensate for the extra gain a DC-to-DC converter introduces in the control loop.

The gain of the RF amplifier can be adjusted by the external input resistors. Fig.3 shows the simplified schematic which can be used to determine the RF gain. The signal is AC coupled to the RF amplifier. The formula to determine the gain is shown below:

where:

The gain can be increased by a factor 4 by making pin CDRW HIGH. The value of Z (CDRW = LOW) and 38 kΩ for CD-R/W (CDRW = HIGH).

The equalizer/bandwidth section can be switched between n = 1, n = 2 (inclusive the corresponding equalizer) or n = 4 (inclusive the required bandwidth limitation) times speed.

The DC output level of the amplifier can be set by applying a DC voltage on the common mode feedback pin CMFB. Since the input signal is AC-coupled the RF output voltage will swing (symmetrically) around this DC level.

The coupling of the TZA1024 to the signal processor (SAA7324) can be either AC or DC. When an AC-coupling is chosen (see Fig.8) the minimum supply voltage can be applied. When a DC-coupling is chosen (see Fig.9) a minimum supply voltage of 2.8 V is required.

Automatic laser power control circuit

The ALPC stabilises the laser output power thereby reducing the effect of ageing of the laser.

The TZA1024 automatically detects when an N- or P-substrate monitor diode is used and selects the correct reference voltage. A simplified diagram for the use of an N- or P-substrate monitor diode is given in Fig.4.

The gain of the loop can be controlled (reduced) by adding an external resistor between pins RGADJ and GND. The loop gain then becomes:
