Intersil has announced the availability of a new
laser driver that supports 52x CDR and 8x DVDR writing. While the product
itself is useless to consumers it paves the way for new consumer electronics
products that make use of this laser driver. The new chip supports all popular
disk drive formats, including DVD+R/W, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R/W, CD-R and
CD-ROM.
latest addition to our market-leading portfolio of CD and DVD recordable products are specifically tailored for the small space and low power requirements of today's slim CD and DVD recordable drives," said Zhong Li, director of marketing for Intersil's Elantec optical storage products. 'The EL683X dual LDD family addresses our customers' need for higher performance, higher speed and pin-for-pin compatibility while providing the integration and power efficiency required for today's portable CD and DVD drives. As with all of the products in our Elantec optical storage portfolio, they reduce overall component count, shorten data signal routing and address the continued migration to higher read and read/write speeds." |
