EPC21603 Laser Driver IC

The EPC21603ENGRT from EPC is a 40 V, 10 A, LVDS logic, eToF™ laser driver IC. This device is capable of very high frequencies exceeding 100 MHz and super short pulses < 2 ns to modulate laser driving currents up to 10 A. The LVDS logic control allows the eToF laser driver IC to be controlled from an FPGA for applications where noise immunity is critical, such as augmented reality. This single-chip driver plus eGaN® FET uses EPC's proprietary GaN IC technology in a chip-scale BGA form factor that measures only 1.5 mm x 1.0 mm.

The EPC21603 eToF laser driver IC is featured on the EPC9156 development board and is primarily intended to drive laser diodes with short, high-current pulses. Capabilities include minimum pulse widths of < 2 ns, 10 A peak currents, and a bus voltage rating of 30 V.
