OTTAWA, CANADA, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Zarlink Semiconductor (NYSE/TSX:ZL) today introduced the first commercially available laser diode drivers that support x16 DVD and x52 CD write/rewrite speeds for the next generation of optical disc drives used in high-speed DVD/CD combination recorder units.
Powered by Zarlink's laser diode drivers, DVD/CD recorder units will be able to write a 4.7 Gigabyte DVD disc - the equivalent of a two-hour movie - in under six minutes. In comparison, it currently takes an unacceptable 1.3 hours to write the same movie at x1 speeds.
