Laser Driver IC

Infineon VCSEL drivers have been developed with a focus on providing optimal power efficiency and seamless integration into various applications.
The devices can be implemented in 3D vision camera system in combination with Infineon Time of Flight (ToF) imagers REAL3^TM, or with line laser scanner (LDS) and other lidar systems. Precise and high power turn-on characteristic make it an ideal illumination driver for any application needing accurate 3D depth measurements.

Infineon VCSEL driver ICs are tailored to the design and production of high performance 3D cameras. The VCSEL drivers allow for reduced number of components and less circuit complexity compared to discrete illumination transmitter concepts. These Infineon illumination driver devices are suited for solutions based on VCSEL or LED. Learn more about Infineon VCSEL drivers in 3D ToF cameras.

Key features and benefits:

1. Highest versatibility: Infineon VCSEL drivers are compatible with single-, dual-, and triple-junction VCSEL technologies, offering versatility and flexibility in system design. This compatibility ensures seamless integration with a wide range of camera devices.
2. Fast switching behavior: with rapid switching behavior of up to 250 MHz, our VCSEL drivers enable precise and responsive operation. This capability allows for accurate data acquisition and enables high-speed optical communication in your applications.
3. Ultra-Small packages: Infineon's VCSEL drivers are available in compact packages, offering significant space savings and allowing for more efficient design integration. The smaller form-factor enables sleeker and more compact camera systems.
4. Integrated fail-safe functionality: Infineon's VCSEL drivers provide integrated fail-safe full functionality in the event that thermal protection, LVDS input and supply monitoring requires it. This integration eliminates the need for additional components, simplifying the system design process, parts counting and module dimensions.
5. Cost optimization: by combining our VCSEL drivers with compatible illumination components, costs optimization can be achieved without compromising on performance. The integrated design and reduced bill of materials (BOM) contribute to overall cost savings.

Implemented in modern 3D camera systems, Infineon VCSEL driver ICs are primer components to support a variety of use cases in consumer and industrial applications:

• Biometric face autentication
• Robotic SLAM & obstacle avoidance
• AR/VR mapping and gesture tracking
• Photography low light autofocus & bokeh
