EL6215CUZ-T13

Overview

The EL6215CUZ-T13 is a three-channel laser diode driver manufactured by Elantec Semiconductor. It operates on a single 5V supply voltage and supports a bias current of up to 100 mA. The device is designed for surface mount applications, utilizing a compact package format suitable for integration into dense circuit boards. As part of the EL6215 series, it provides dedicated control interfaces for managing multiple laser channels simultaneously.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent drive channels for multi-laser systems
• Operates from a standard 5V power supply rail
• Supports bias currents up to 100 mA per channel
• Designed for surface mount technology assembly

Applications

• Optical communication transceivers
• Laser printing engines
• Multi-beam scanning systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers like Rochester Electronics. Confirm the obsolete status with the manufacturer before procurement planning. Ensure storage conditions meet ESD protection standards. Validate pin compatibility with existing PCB footprints. Request batch traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-channel configuration is required within a single IC footprint. The 5V supply requirement simplifies power design in systems lacking higher voltage rails. Consider the 100 mA bias limit against specific laser diode requirements. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities based on the chosen package type and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the EL6215 family of laser drivers produced by Elantec Semiconductor, now part of Renesas Technology Corp. The series targets applications requiring precise control of laser diodes in compact form factors. The CUZ suffix indicates the specific package variant used for surface mounting.
