Actuator Driver IC Series Developed

Low saturation voltage output ICs support a wide range of applications from audio CD players to DVD RAM drives.

Overview

The digital optical disc media market, which started with the compact disc (CD), has developed phenomenally, and can be said to be the first result of the digital revolution of direct significance to the consumer. The audio CD is already a worldwide phenomenon, and the MD and the audio CD-R are growing rapidly. At the same time the CD-ROM, which was developed for use as external storage for personal computers, has now become an essential peripheral device in all PCs, and there is now much activity in rewritable and large capacity optical technologies, such as CD-R/RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD-RAM.

Features
