General Description
The MLX75012 is a triple wavelength photo detector IC (PDIC) with integrated amplifiers and control circuitry
for use in optical pick-up heads. Its 20 photo detectors are optimized for the detection of 405nm, 650nm, and
®
780nm wavelength laser light used in HD-DVD, Blu-Ray , DVD, and CD applications and are arranged in two
3-beam photo detector arrays in the chip centre. The ten signal channels consist of four main-detector
channels (A, B, C, and D), four sub-detector channels (E, F, G, H), and two channels with balanced
differential output (RFP, RFN). The device features a test mode for PDIC adjustment, a sleep mode, and 8
selectable gain modes, which are controllable by digital- and tri-state logic. The integrated 49Bit one-time
programmable ROM allows parameter trimming of the MLX75012 for high product quality.
The MLX75012 is manufactured in a 0.6µm BiCMOS-technology.

6 Outstanding Features
The MLX75012 opens the door to the new world of violet laser based storage-technology. By combining the
traditional red and infrared applications in a high-speed-, low-power design a real universal device was
created that can be used in any thinkable application ranging from HD-DVD recorders over gaming-
equipment to the use in ultra-slim drives in new generation laptops. To allow small-size and cost-effective
solutions in optical pick-up design, the MLX75012 offers two complete three-beam Detector patterns that can
be used by dual-wavelength lasers. At the same time, the robust 20-pin CSP Ceramic Glass-Lid package
offers small-size outer dimensions.
The system concept of the MLX75012 universal PDIC is based on newly developed blue enhanced detectors
that ensure a high spectral sensitivity even before the first amplifier is involved. A 49-Bit one time
programmable ROM guarantees high parameter stability by trimming at the device manufacturing process.
To support the adjustment process of pick-up systems in manufacturing, the MLX75012 offers a special test-
mode in which one of the tracking detector-array can be switched off.
