Optical disc ICs BA5941FP
FOperation notes
(1) The BA5941FP contains a thermal shutdown cir-
cuit.
When the chip temperature reaches 175_C (Typ.), the
output current is muted.
(2) By having the mute pin (pin 9) voltage open or low-
ered to 0.5V or below , the output currents can be muted.
For normal conditions, have the voltage at pin 9 pull-up
to 2V.
(3) If the voltage of the bias pin (pin 2) drops below 1.4V
(Typ.), outputs are muted.
For normal conditions, have the voltage above 1.8V.
(4) If the voltage of the thermal shutdown, mute ON, or
bias pin drops, the mute is activated; however, in these
situations, only the drivers are muted.
Also, the output pin voltage becomes the internal bias
voltage (approx. VCC*VF/2).
(5) Connect a bypass capacitor (approx. 0.1µF) be-
tween the bases of the power supply pins of this IC.
(6) Even though the radiation fins are connected to
ground within the package, be sure to also connect them
to a ground externally as well.
