SM8613AV
Laser Switching Driver IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8613AV is a portable CD player laser diode (LD) driver IC. Conventional portable CD players use a
fixed-current LD drive method, but this increases the power dissipation and limits battery life. The SM8613AV
employs an intermittent LD driver duty operation to reduce the laser power dissipation, which greatly reduces
the current consumption when reading data and extends battery driver life.
