Elantec introduces 3 High Performance Read Channel ICs for DVD/CD Drives
The EL6262C, EL6263C and EL6265C offer read channel solutions for CD/DVD optical pickup head designs

 MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA, August 13, 2001 -- Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today announced three new read channel pre-amplifiers for the emerging high growth DVD and DVD/CD Dual Writer optical drive market segments. Elantec has developed a read channel pre-amplifier to provide a system-level solution that works with the company's industry-standard write channel DVD/CD laser driver ICs. The three new read channel pre-amplifier ICs -- the EL6262C, EL6263C and EL6265C -- are compatible with CD and DVD industry standard media.

The EL6262C, EL6263C and EL6265C are highly integrated analog-intensive mixed-signal ICs designed to sense and amplify the read channel photo-detector diode currents while performing buffering and pin programmable gain-switching functions. The family consists of two 8-channel pre-amplifiers, the EL6262C and the EL6263C, and a 13-channel pre-amplifier, the EL6265C. All pre-amplifiers incorporate an auto-zero function that reduces the amplifier's initial and differential offset errors or any temperature offset errors down to less than 10mV per amplifier. This feature increases the dynamic range, and, consequently, lowers tracking and read-back errors.

Stephen P. Sacarisen, Elantec's Director Strategic Marketing, Optical Products Group said, "The EL6262C, EL6263C and EL6265C represent our commitment to develop the technology for the read channel pre-amplifiers solution for the optical pickup (OPU) design. These pre-amplifier solutions complement our DVD/CD writable laser driver products and enable Elantec to offer a broader product offering into the emerging high-growth DVD and DVD/CD Dual Writer market."

Samples of the EL6262C, EL6263C in the LPP32 package and the EL6265C in the LPP38 package are available now. Evaluation boards also are available.
