1.Description
The ATR1841 is a front monitor diode (FMD) which controls the laser power of the
optical pickup for Blu-ray/HD-DVD, DVD and CD drives in one IC.
With the Two-wire Interface (TWI) it is possible to fit the laser power for
Blu-ray/HD-DVD, DVD and CD. Two bits are used to set the mode/gain level and 6
additional bits are used for gain trimming, within ±6 dB. Entering sleep mode is also
controlled via the TWI.
The integrated PIN diode and the high speed amplifier with low output impedance
ensures stable driver performance.
All output channels are set to tri-state during sleep mode.
Due to its small package size the ATR1841 is especially suited for applications with
low height requirements like SLIM and Ultra-SLIM drives.

3.Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

7.Applications Recommendation
To achieve the best performance VCC needs to be blocked using a high quality capacitor
(C = 100 nF) as close to IC/pin as possible.
