and fall times are 2 ns to complement printer applications that  
use image enhancing techniques such as pulse width modula-  
tion to achieve gray scale and resolution enhancement. Control  
signals are T T L/CMOS compatible.  
FEATURES  
< 2 ns Rise/ Fall Tim es  
Output Current: 120 m A  
Single +5 V Pow er Supply  
Sw itching Rate: 200 MHz typ  
Onboard Light Pow er Control Loop  
T he driver output provides up to 120 mA of current into an  
infrared N type laser, and the onboard disable circuit turns off  
the output driver and returns the light power control loop to a  
safe state.  
APPLICATIONS  
Laser Printers and Copiers  
T he AD9661A can also be used in closed-loop applications in  
which the output power level follows an analog POWER LEVEL  
voltage input. By optimizing the external hold capacitor and  
the photo detector, the loop can achieve bandwidths as high as  
25 MHz.  
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N  
T he AD9661A is a highly integrated driver for laser diode appli-  
cations such as printers and copiers. T he AD9661A gets feed-  
back from an external photo detector and includes an analog  
feedback loop to allow users to set the power level of the laser,  
and switch the laser on and off at up to 100 MHz. Output rise  
T he AD9661A is offered in a 28-pin plastic SOIC for  
operation over the commercial temperature range (0°C to  
+70°C).

Contr ol Loop Tr ansfer Function  
T he AD9661A combines a very fast output current switch with  
an onboard analog light power control loop to provide the user  
with a complete laser diode driver solution. T he block diagram  
illustrates the key internal functions. T he control loop of the  
AD9661A adjusts the output current level, IOUT , so that the  
photo diode feedback current, IMONIT OR, into SENSE IN is pro-  
portional to the analog input voltage at POWER LEVEL. Since  
the monitor current is proportional to the laser diode light  
power, the loop effectively controls laser power to a level pro-  
portional to the analog input. T he control loop should be peri-  
odically calibrated (see Choosing CHOLD).  
T he relationship between IMONIT OR and VPOWER LEVEL is  
VPOWER LEVEL VREF  
IMONITOR

(RGAIN +50 )  
once the loop is calibrated. When the loop is open (CAL = logic  
HIGH), the output current, IOUT , is proportional to the held  
voltage at H OLD; the external hold capacitor on this pin  
determines the droop error in the output current between  
calibrations.  
T he sections below discuss choosing the external components in  
the feedback loop for a particular application.  
T he disable circuit turns off IOUT and returns the hold capacitor  
voltages to their minimum levels (minimum output current)  
when DISABLE = logic HIGH. It is used during initial power  
up of the AD9661A or during time periods where the laser is  
inactive. When the AD9661A is re-enabled the control loop  
must be recalibrated.  
Choosing RGAIN  
T he gain resistor, RGAIN, allows the user to match the feedback  
loop’s transfer function to the laser diode/photo diode  
combination.  
T he user should define the maximum laser diode output power  
for the intended application, PLD MAX, and the corresponding  
photo diode monitor current, IMONIT OR MAX. A typical laser  
diode transfer function is illustrated below. RGAIN should be  
chosen as:  
Normal operation of the AD9661A involves the following (in  
order, see Figure 1):

T he laser diode’s output power will then vary from 0 to PLD MAX  
for an input range of VREF to VREF +1.6 V @ the POWER  
LEVEL input.  
T o choose a value, the user will need to determine the amount  
of time the loop will be in hold mode, t HOLD, the maximum  
change in laser output power the application can tolerate, and  
the laser efficiency (defined as the change in laser output power  
to the change in laser diode current). As an example, if an ap-  
plication requires 5 mW of laser power ±5%, and the laser diode  
efficiency is 0.25 mW/mA, then  
Minimum specifications for IMONIT OR MAX should be used when  
choosing RGAIN. Users are cautioned that laser diode/photo  
diode combinations that produce monitor currents that are less  
than IMONIT OR MAX in the equation above will produce higher la-  
ser output power than predicted, which may damage the laser  
diode. Such a condition is possible if RGAIN is calculated using  
typical instead of minimum monitor current specifications. In  
that case the input range to the AD9661A POWER LEVEL  
input should be limited to avoid damaging laser diodes.

IMAX = 5 mW ×(5%)/ 0.25

If the same application had a hold time requirement of 250 µs,  
then the minimum value of the hold capacitor would be:  
Another approach would be to use a potentiometer for RGAIN  
.
18 ×10–9 ×250 µs  
T his allows users to optimize the value of RGAIN for each laser  
diode/photo diode combination’s monitor current. T he draw-  
back to this approach is that potentiometers’ stray inductance  
and capacitance may cause the transimpedance amplifier to  
overshoot and degrade its settling, and the value of CGAIN may  
not be optimized for the entire potentiometer’s range.

When determining the calibration time, the T /H and the exter-  
nal hold capacitor can be modeled using the simple RC circuit  
illustrated below.  
CGAIN optimizes the response of the transimpedance amplifier  
and should be chosen as from the table below. Choosing CGAIN  
larger than the recommended value will slow the response of the  
amplifier. Lower values improve T ZA bandwidth but may cause  
the amplifier to oscillate.

Choosing C H O LD  
Choosing values for the hold capacitor, CHOLD, is a tradeoff  
between output current droop when the control loop is open,  
and the time it takes to calibrate and recalibrate the laser power  
when the loop is closed.  
where t = 0 is when the calibration begins (CAL goes logic  
LOW), Vt = 0 is the voltage on the hold cap at t = 0, Vt = is the  
steady state voltage at the hold cap with the loop closed, and  
τ = RC  
is the time constant. With this model the error in  
HOfLoDr a finite calibration time, as compared to Vt = , can  
T he amount of output current droop is determined by the value  
of the hold capacitor and the leakage current at that node.  
When the control loop is open (CAL logic HIGH), the pin con-  
nection for the hold capacitor (HOLD) is a high impedance in-  
put. Leakage current will range from ±200; this low current  
minimizes the droop in the output power level. Assuming the  
worst case current of ±200 nA, the output current will change

D r iving the Analog Inputs  
T he POWER LEVEL input of the AD9661A drives the track  
and hold amplifier and allows the user to adjust the amount of  
output current as described above. T he input voltage range is  
VREF to VREF + 1.6 V, requiring the user to create an offset of  
VREF for a ground based signal (see below for description of the  
on board level shift circuit). T he circuit below will perform the  
level shift and scale the output of a DAC whose output is from  
ground to a positive voltage. T his solution is especially attrac-  
tive because both the DAC and the op amp can run off a single  
+5 V supply, and the op amp doesn’t have to swing rail to rail.

Initial calibration is required after power-up or any other time  
the laser has been disabled. Disabling the AD9661A drives the  
hold capacitor to VREF. In this case, or in any case where the  
output current is more than 10% out of calibration, R will range  
from 300 to 550 for the model above; the higher value should  
be used for calculating the worst case calibration time. Following  
the example above, if CH OLD were chosen as 4.5 nF, then  
τ = RC = 550 Ω × 4.5 nF would be 2.48 µs. For an initial  
calibration error < 1%, the initial calibration time should be  
> 5 τ = 12.36 µs.

cuit is poor for inputs below 100 mV. Between 100 mV and  
1.6 V it is about 7 bits accurate.  
Initial calibration time will actually be better than this calcula-  
tion indicates, as a significant portion of the calibration time will  
be within 10% of the final value, and the output resistance in  
the AD9660s T /H decreases as the hold voltage approaches its  
final value.  
Layout Consider ations  
Recalibration is functionally identical to initial calibration, but  
the loop need only correct for droop. Because droop is assumed  
to be a small percentage of the initial calibration (< 10%), the  
resistance for the model above will be in the range of 75 to  
140 . Again, the higher value should be used to estimate the  
worst case time needed for recalibration.  
As in all high speed applications, proper layout is critical; it is  
particularly important when both analog and digital signals are  
involved. Analog signal paths should be kept as short as  
possible, and isolated from digital signals to avoid coupling in  
noise. In particular, digital lines should be isolated from  
OUT PUT , SENSE IN, POWER LEVEL, LEVEL SHIFT IN  
POWER MONIT OR, and HOLD traces. Digital signal paths  
should also be kept short, and run lengths matched to avoid  
propagation delay mismatch.  
Continuing with the example above, since the droop error dur-  
ing hold time is < 5%, we meet the criteria for recalibration and  
τ = RC = 140 Ω × 4.5 nF = 0.64 µs. T o get a final error of 1%  
after recalibration, the 5% droop must be corrected to within a  
20% error (20% × 5% = 1%). A 2 τ recalibration time of 1.2 µs  
is sufficient.  
Layout of the ground and power supply circuits is also critical.  
A single, low impedance ground plane will reduce noise on the  
circuit ground. Power supplies should be capacitively coupled  
to the ground plane to reduce noise in the circuit. 0.1 µF  
surface mount capacitors, placed as close as possible to the  
AD9661A +VS connections, and the +VS connection to the laser  
diode meet this requirement. Multilayer circuit boards allow  
designers to lay out signal traces without interrupting the ground  
plane, and provide low impedance power planes to further  
reduce noise.  
Continuous Recalibr ation  
In applications where the hold capacitor is small (< 500 pF) and  
the WRIT E PULSE signals always have a pulse width > 25 ns,  
the user may continuously calibrate the feedback loop. In such  
an application, the CAL signal should be held logic LOW, and  
the PULSE signal will control loop calibration via the internal  
AND gate. In such application, it is important to optimize the  
layout for the T ZA (POWER MONIT OR, GAIN, RGAIN and  
C
GAIN).

Minim izing the Im pedance of the O utput Cur r ent P ath  
Because of the very high current slew that the AD9661A is  
capable of producing (120+ mA in 1.5 ns), the inductance of  
the output current path to and from the laser diode is critical.  
A good layout of the output current path will yield high quality  
light pulses with rise times of about 1.5 ns and less than 5%  
overshoot. A poor layout can result in significant overshoot and  
ringing. T he most important guideline for the layout is to mini-  
mize the impedance (mostly inductance) of the output current  
path to the laser.  
O ptim izing the Feedback Layout  
In applications where the dynamic performance of the analog  
feedback loop is important, it is necessary to optimize the layout  
of the gain resistor, RGAIN, as well as the monitor current path to  
SENSE IN. Such applications include systems which recali-  
brate the write loop on pulses as short as 25 ns, and closed-loop  
applications.  
T he best possible T ZA settling will be achieved by using a single  
carbon surface mount resistor (usually 5% tolerance) for RGAIN  
and small surface mount capacitor for CGAIN. Because the  
GAIN pin (Pin 5) is essentially connected to the inverting input  
of the T ZA, it is very sensitive to stray capacitance. RGAIN  
should be placed between Pin 5 and Pin 6, as close as possible  
to Pin 5. Small traces should be used, and the ground and +VS  
planes adjacent to the trace should be removed to further mini-  
mize stray capacitance.  
It is important to recognize that the laser current path is a  
closed loop. T he figure illustrates the path that current travels:  
(1) from the +VS connection at the anode of the laser to the  
cathode (2) from the cathode to the output pins of the  
AD9661A (3) through the output drive circuit of the  
AD9661A, (4) through the return path (GROUND plane in the  
illustration) (5) through the bypass capacitors back to the +VS  
connection of the laser diode. T he inductance of this loop can  
be minimized by placing the laser as close to the AD9661A as  
possible to keep the loop short, and by placing the send and re-  
turn paths on adjacent layers of the PC board to take advantage  
of mutual coupling of the path inductances. T his mutual cou-  
pling effect is the most important factor in reducing inductance  
in the current path.  
T he trace from SENSE IN to the anode of the PIN photodetec-  
tor should be thin and routed away from the laser cathode trace.  
Exam ple Calculations  
T he example below (in addition to the one included in the sec-  
tions above) should guide users in choosing RGAIN, CGAIN, the  
hold capacitor values, and worst case calibration times.  
System Requirements:  
T he trace from the output pins of the AD9661A to the cathode  
of the laser should be several millimeters wide and should be as  
direct as possible. T he return current will choose the path of  
least resistance. If the return path is the GROUND plane, it  
should have an unbroken path, under the output trace, from the  
laser anode back to a the AD9661A. If the return path is not  
the ground plane (such as on a two layer board, or on the +VS  
plane), it should still be on the board plane adjacent to the  
plane of the output trace. If the current cannot return along a  
path that follows the output trace, the inductance will be drasti-  
cally increased and performance will be degraded.
