Summary
Description
ATR0809 is a laser diode driver for the operation of two different grounded laser
diodes for DVD-RW/+RW (650 nm) and CD-RW (780 nm). It includes four channels for
four different optical power levels. All channels (channel 1 = read channel, channel 2,
3, 4 = write channels) can be controlled by fast switches. The current pulses are
enabled when a low signal is applied to the NE pins. All channels are summed
together and switched to one of the two outputs IOUTA or IOUTB by the select input
SELA. Each write channel (channel 2, 3 and 4) can contribute up to 350 mA to the
total output current of up to 500 mA. The read channel can contribute up to 150 mA.
Total gains of 100 (read channel), 250 (channel 2 and 3) and 100 (channel 4) are pro-
vided between each reference current input and the selected output. Although the
reference inputs are current inputs, voltage control is also possible by using external
resistors.
An on-chip RF oscillator can be used to reduce laser mode hopping noise in
read mode. The oscillator current amplitude and frequency can be set independently
for the two selectable outputs with four different resistors
. Oscillation is enabled by a
high signal at the ENOSC pin. Complete shutdown of the output currents is achieved
by a low signal at the ENABLE input.

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.
