PRELIMINARY
EL6834
Dual 4-Channel Driver with Oscillator &
LVDS
The EL6834 is a high performance,
dual output, laser driver for writeable
‘super-combo’ CD - DVD drives. The
ENA pin enables the chip, while the SEL1 pin selects the
IOUT pin. Various waveforms can be generated where the
amplitude is determined by the currents flowing into IINR,
IIN2, IIN3, and IIN4. The timing is determined by the signals
at WEN2-WEN2B, WEN3-WEN3B, and WEN4-WEN4B. The
oscillator is enabled when OSEN is high. The amplified IINR
current of the selected channel is enabled when the ENA pin
is high. The total output current is the sum of the read
current, the enabled write currents, and the oscillator current
when enabled.
Usually a voltage DAC will drive a resistor that is in series
with the IINR, IIN2, IIN3, and IIN4 input. The resistor allows
the user to optimize the current gain for each channel.
Output write current pulses are enabled when a high is
applied to the WEN2-WEN2B, WEN3-WEN3B, or WEN-
WEN4B pin. The write current will flow to the selected
output. When SEL1 is high IOUT1 is selected. WENRB
enables read and oscillator current when low.
The RF oscillators frequency is determined by RFREQ1 or
RFREQ2, and its amplitude by RAMP1 or RAMP2.
