MAX9483EEE

Overview

The MAX9483EEE is a dual-output, multimode laser-diode driver designed for CD and DVD combination pickup heads. It integrates a DVD+RW write driver with a dedicated CD-R/RW playback amplifier. The device supports high-performance optical storage applications by managing laser diode currents for both writing and reading operations within a single integrated circuit.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a DVD+RW write driver and a dedicated CD-R/RW playback amplifier in a single package
• Designed specifically for high-performance multimode CD and DVD combination pickup heads

Applications

• CD-RW/DVD combination pickup heads
• Multimode optical drive systems
• Laser diode driving for optical storage devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix (EEE) to ensure the correct package type and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Check current availability as this component may be discontinued or limited. Ensure compatibility with existing optical drive designs requiring dual-output laser control.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing optical drives that require simultaneous support for CD-RW and DVD+RW formats. It is suitable for applications needing integrated laser control for both write and read modes. Consider the dual-output architecture which simplifies board layout compared to discrete solutions.

Part Context

The MAX9483 belongs to Maxim Integrated's family of laser-diode drivers. It is part of the broader portfolio of components used in optical storage technology. Analog Devices acquired Maxim Integrated, so the product is now under the Analog Devices Inc. brand umbrella while retaining its original Maxim designation.
