MAX3600

ABRIDGED DATA SHEET 19-4720; Rev 0; 7/09 Laser Driver for Projectors General Description The MAX3600 laser driver for projectors supports video imaging with red, blue, and green lasers. Each output includes a 10-bit video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with programmable gain and offset. For operation with synthetic green lasers, the driver includes a periodic off function and a fourth output with a random-noise generator. The MAX3600B/R/G are monochrome drivers for blue, red, and green lasers. The MAX3600A guarantees higher full-scale output currents than the MAX3600. Features S Integrates Four Current-Output Laser Drivers S Compatible with Red, Blue, and Green Lasers S 10-Bit Video DACs, fCLK = 1MHz to 160MHz S 8-Bit Gain and Offset DACs S 2ns Output Switching Time S Serial Port Control S Laser Enable S Random-Noise Generator and Periodic Off S 5mm x 5mm, 40-Pin TQFN Package (0.4mm Pitch) MAX3600 Applications RGB Pico Laser Projector Up to WXGA and 1080p Resolution Projectors Monochrome Blue, Green, or Red Pico Laser Projector Ordering Information PART MAX3600CTL+ MAX3600ACTL+† MAX3600RCTL+† MAX3600GCTL+† TEMP RANGE 0NC to +70NC 0NC to +70NC 0NC to +70NC 0NC to +70NC 0NC to +70NC PIN-PACKAGE 40 TQFN-EP* 40 TQFN-EP* 40 TQFN-EP* 40 TQFN-EP* 40 TQFN-EP* Typical Operating Circuits and Pin Configuration appear at end of data sheet.
