General Description
The EL6276C is a four channel laser diode current amplifier that provides controlled current to a grounded laser diode. The four amplifiers can provide up to 140mA per channel of DC or pulsed current. Channels 2, 3, and 4 must be used as the write channels, with switching speeds of approximately three nanosecond rise/fall time.
