Since being the first-to-market in 1996 with high performance laser diode drivers, Intersil has continued to lead the optical storage market with integrated circuits that control the performance of the laser diode used in the read/write mode of optical drives. The higher read/write speeds required by CD and DVD formats demand the type of analog design expertise that has become a trademark of Intersil. We currently offer high-level integration and small package technology in a full line of products for CD and DVD writeable drives.
