Silanna Delivers Industry’s Smallest Laser Firing System ICs

Silanna Semiconductor has introduced the SL2001 and SL2002 laser firing system ICs for LiDAR and rangefinders, offering a significant reduction in power consumption, system size, BOM cost, and design complexity compared to other laser driver technologies. These ICs combine resonant capacitor charging and high-current laser diode firing on a single chip, reducing a laser system's footprint by 80%. The SL2001 is designed for automotive-grade LiDAR, delivering sub-2-ns laser pulses with a peak power output of 1,000 W, while the SL2002 is suitable for handheld systems with a 100-W pulse. Both ICs are housed in a compact 14-pin, 3.5-mm2 package and can be used with various laser types.
