DESCRIPTION
The M66516 is a semiconductor laser-diode driver/controller. Its functions are the driving and laser power control of a specific type (Mitsubishi’s R type laser) of semiconductor laser diode, in which the cathode of a semiconductor laser diode is connected in stem structure to the anode of a monitoring photodiode.

FEATURES
• Built-in sample-hold circuit for APC function
• High speed switching (20Mbps)
• Large drive current (150mA max.)
• Capable of setting bias current (30mA max.)
• 5V single power supply

APPLICATION
   Semiconductor laser-diode applied equipment
