T0820 Datasheet 4 CHANNEL LASER DRIVER

Manufacturer: Atmel (now Microchip Technology)

General Description

The T0820 is a laser diode driver for the operation of a grounded laser diode for writable optical drives.

It includes four channels for four different optical power levels which are controlled by a separate IC.

The read channel generates a continuous output level whereas channels 2 to 4 are provided as write channels with very fast switching speeds.
