Front Monitor
Diode for
Blu-ray/HD-DVD/
DVD/CD with
Serial Interface
1. Description
The ATR1842 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 serial programming interface (SPI) it is possible to fit the laser power for
Blu-ray/HD-DVD, DVD and CD. 2 bits are used to set the mode/gain level and 6 additional bits are used for gain trimming, within ±6 dB. Also setting into sleep mode can
be done via the serial programmin interface (SPI).
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 ATR1842 is especially suited for applications with
low height requirements like SLIM and Ultra-SLIM drives.
