EPC21701 80 V 15 A eToF™ Laser Driver IC

EPC’s EPC21701 is a laser driver that monolithically integrates an 80 V, ‎40 A FET with gate driver and 3.3 logic level input into a single chip ‎for ‎time of flight (ToF) LIDAR systems used in robotics, surveillance systems, and ‎vacuum cleaners. It is tailored to LIDAR systems for ‎gesture recognition, ToF measurement, robotic vision, and industrial safety‎.

The EPC21701 laser driver uses a 5 V supply voltage and is controlled ‎using 3.3 V logic. It is capable of very high frequencies greater ‎than ‎50 ‎MHz and super short pulses less than 2 ns to modulate laser driving currents up ‎to 15 A. Voltage switching time is less than ‎‎1 ns, and delay time from input to output ‎is less than 3.6 ns‎.
