Demux A  
Demux A converts 4-bit input with DDR clock to 8-bit data  
with pixel clock. Input data must be formatted as shown  
in Figure 5. Four MSBs are latched on the rising edge of  
DCLK, and four LSBs are latched on the falling edge of  
DCLK.  
Detailed Description  
The laser driver for projectors supports video imaging  
with red, blue, and green lasers. Each output includes  
two 8-bit video/offset DACs with programmable gain and  
offset.  
Demux B  
Demux B latches an 8-bit video input on the rising edge  
of clock. The same video is sent to all outputs.

Subpixel Programming  
The subpixel programming bits (D[2:0] of register 0x0C)  
determine the number of subpixels and duration of the  
pulse time (Table 1). The pulse width is applied to every  
pixel when the programmed pulse-off length > 0. This  
can be dynamically implemented to adjust for various  
lighting conditions.  
(POC) register selects options shown in Table 2. Random  
pulse-off events are triggered from a 31-bit pseudo-  
random bit-stream. By default, the PRBS is common to  
all outputs. Bit D4 of the POC_ registers determine which  
PRBS bits control each output (Table 3).  
Pulse-off synchronization between outputs occurs when  
POC_ registers match and POC_[4] = 0. For example, if  
POC1 = POC2 = POC3 and POC_[4] = 0, the occurrence  
of randomized pulse-off events at all outputs will be  
synchronized.  
Pulse-Off  
The pulse-timing generator can be configured to skip  
pulse events to save power. The Pulse-Off Configuration

the circuit is only active when MARKER is high and either  
output is enabled. During a pulse-off event, laser voltage  
is momentarily connected to 3.3V to improve turn-off  
time of slow lasers. Note that the pulse-off assist is only  
effective when the OSA_ and OSB_ registers are set to

The temperature alarm reports if the driver temperature  
has exceeded a programmable threshold as shown in  
Figure 14. The alarm is cleared when the TALM register  
is read. If the die temperature is still above the threshold,  
the temperature alarm immediately re-asserts itself. The  
temperature threshold is programmed with the T_SET

of the temperature sensor. Accuracy of the threshold  
is increased by calibration of the alarm at a known

Serial Port and Registers

The MAX3601 contains an I C interface and a 3-wire SPI  
interface. The communication mode is determined by the  
state of CS at power-on. If CS is high (tied to DVDD), I C  
mode is selected. If CS is open or low at power-on, SPI  
mode is selected.  
Each transmit sequence is framed by a START (S)  
condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each data packet is  
9 bits long; 8 bits of data followed by the acknowledge  
bit.

high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP  
condition is a low-to-high transition on SDA, while SCL  
is high (Figure 18).  
The serial bus consists of a bidirectional serial-data  
line (SDA) and a serial-clock input (SCL). The master  
generates the clock signal (Figure 16).  
2
I C is an open-drain bus. SDA and SCL require pullup  
resistors (500I or greater). Voltage clamps on the input  
protect the device high-voltage spikes not exceeding the  
absolute maximum voltage rating.  
A START condition from the master signals the beginning  
of a transmission. The master terminates transmission by  
issuing a not-acknowledge followed by a STOP condition  
(see Figure 19 for more information). The STOP condition  
frees the bus. To issue a series of commands to the slave,  
the master may issue repeated START (Sr) commands  
instead of a STOP command in order to maintain control  
of the bus. In general, a repeated START command is  
functionally equivalent to a regular START command.  
Data Transfer  
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle.  
The data on SDA must remain stable during the high  
SDA  
SCL  
When a STOP condition or incorrect address is detected,  
the MAX3601 internally disconnects SCL from the serial  
interface until the next START condition, minimizing  
digital noise and feedthrough.

Acknowledge  
Both the master and the MAX3601 (slave) generate  
acknowledge bits when receiving data. The acknowledge  
bit is the last bit of each 9-bit data packet (Figure 19). To  
generate an acknowledge (A), the receiving device must  
pull SDA low before the rising edge of the acknowledge-  
related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during  
the high period of the clock pulse. To generate a not  
acknowledge (NA), the receiving device allows SDA to be  
pulled high before the rising edge of the acknowledge-  
related clock pulse and leaves it high during the high  
period of the clock pulse.  
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection  
of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data  
transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a system  
fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data  
transfer, the bus master should reattempt communication  
at a later time.  
Slave Address  
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device  
by issuing a START condition followed by the slave  
address. The slave address byte consists of 7 address  
bits (1110 001) and a read/write bit (R/W) which is a 0 for  
write and a 1 for read. After receiving the proper address,  
the MAX3601 issues an acknowledge by pulling SDA low  
during the ninth clock cycle. The MAX3601 write address  
is 0xE2. MAX3601 read address is 0xE3.

Reading from a Single Register  
Figure 22 shows the protocol for the I C master device to  
read one byte of data to the MAX3601.  
The “read byte” protocol is as follows:  
1) The master sends a START command (S).  
Reading from Sequential Registers  
Figure 22 shows the protocol for reading from sequential  
registers. This protocol is similar to the “read byte”  
protocol except the master issues an acknowledge to  
signal the slave that it wants more data. When the master  
has all the data it requires, it issues a not-acknowledge  
(NA) and a STOP (P) to end the transmission. The  
“continuous read from sequential registers” protocol is  
as follows:  
2
2) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed  
by a write bit.  
3) The addressed slave asserts an acknowledge (A) by  
pulling SDA low.  
1) The master sends a START command (S).  
4) The master sends an 8-bit register pointer.  
5) The slave acknowledges the register pointer.  
6) The master sends a repeated START command (Sr).  
2) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed  
by a write bit.  
3) The addressed slave asserts acknowledge (A) by  
pulling SDA low.  
7) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed  
by a read bit.  
4) The master sends an 8-bit register pointer.  
5) The slave acknowledges the register pointer.  
6) The master sends a repeated START command (Sr).  
8) The addressed slave asserts acknowledge by pull-  
ing SDA low.  
9) The addressed slave places 8 bits of data on the bus  
from the location specified by the register pointer.  
7) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed  
by a read bit.  
10) The master issues a not-acknowledge (NA).  
11) The master issues a STOP condition (P).  
8) The addressed slave asserts acknowledge by pull-  
ing SDA low.  
9) The addressed slave places 8 bits of data on the bus  
from the location specified by the register pointer.  
The procedure (6) Sr cannot be replaced to STOP (P)  
and START (S).

10) The master issues acknowledge (A) signaling the  
slave that it wishes to receive more data.  
SPI Interface  
Use the power-on and CS timing shown in Figure 23  
when using the SPI interface.  
11) Steps 9 and 10 are repeated as many times as the  
master requires. Following the last byte of data, the  
master must issue a not-acknowledge (NA) to signal  
that it wishes to stop receiving data.  
Read/Write Data Using 3-Wire SPI  
For both read/write, first set chip select (CS) high  
(Figure 24). Once the clock starts, specify the first bit  
(read/write data), then the register address and then the  
data. The SPI interface supports single byte and burst  
read/writes.  
12) The master issues a STOP condition (P).  
Read and write commands use MSB first. During a burst  
read/write, the register address auto-increments. Auto-  
incrementing is cyclic; address 0x00 follows address  
0x7F.  
1.6V  
V
DD  
When writing data, the data needs to be entered in 8-bit  
units. If the 8-bit data is not complete before CS goes to  
0, the data will not be written correctly (Figure 25).  
30ms  
(min)  
When reading data, DIO changes from input to output  
after receiving the address bits (Figure 26). To prevent  
collision, switch the microcontroller port driving DIO to an  
input or use open-drain logic.

Figure 28 shows the model of the driver output and laser.  
Table 9 lists the component values for typical lasers of  
various colors.  
AVDD/DVDD be applied before V -V  
On power-down, it is recommended that V -V  
are applied.  
A1 A3  
are

powered down before AVCC/DVCC and AVDD/DVDD.  
Failure to follow the sequencing recommendation may  
result in device stress, but has not been observed to  
cause immediate damage.

does not exceed 8.4V at any time, including power-on, as  
this can damage the ESD protection circuitry.

Compensation Network  
Optional compensation elements R and C can  
be used to compensate the inductive load of the  
laser (Figure 29). The resulting filter reduces ringing  
and increases the switching time of the laser driver.

The recommended thermal path is through the package  
backside exposed pad (EP). A heatsink on the package  
top does not significantly reduce junction temperature.

Eye Safety  
Specification IEC 825 defines the maximum safe output  
of optical devices. This laser driver provides features  
that aid compliance with IEC 825. Using this laser driver  
alone does not ensure that a product is compliant with  
IEC 825. The entire transmitter circuit and component  
selections must be considered. Maxim products are  
not designed for use as components in systems where  
the failure of a Maxim product could create a condition  
where human injury may occur.  
PCB Layout  
Place the lasers as close as possible to the laser driver.  
The laser connection should appear as a low-impedance  
transmission line. Use wide traces located close to the  
ground plane for maximum capacitance. The connection  
from OUT_ to the laser should be as short as possible,  
ideally < 15mm.  
Consider the laser power supply V . Droop on these  
A_  
supplies reduces the compliance voltage. Use two or  
three capacitors to bypass V to ground. Place a small  
capacitor as close as possible to the laser to keep the  
ground return loop small. A larger capacitor can be

Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP)  
Applications Information  
For the latest application details on WLP construction,  
dimensions, tape carrier information, PCB techniques,  
bump-pad layout, and recommended reflow temperature  
profile, as well as the latest information on reliability  
testing results refer to Application Note 1891: Wafer-  
Level Packaging (WLP) and its Applications.  
located farther from V . It is best to solder the laser to  
the PCB. If a connector is required, minimize inductance.  
Inductance > 1nH at OUT_ could cause large ringing.

Laser Driver Thermal Considerations  
The circuit is designed to meet specifications with an  
operating junction temperature (T ) up to +125NC. The  
J
controlling system must be designed to monitor the
