DESCRIPTION

The M66510 is a semiconductor laser diode driver that drives a semiconductor laser of the type whose cathode and the anode of monitor photodiode are connected to the stem. Laser driving current of up to 120mA can be set by applying constant voltage from outside to drive the laser diode. It operates from a 5V single power supply, allowing switching of laser driving current at a speed of 20M bits/sec.

*: Our semiconductor laser is of R type.

FEATURES

• Built-in two outputs for monitoring laser power (comparator output and analog output)

• With laser driving current forced off pin

• High-speed switching (20M bits/s)

• High driving current (120mA max.)

• 5V single power supply

APPLICATION

  Laser beam printer
