CXA2525AM/AN
Tracking Error Amplifier
Each signal current from the photodiodes E and F is I-V converted and input to Pins 8 and 9. These signals
undergo operational amplification at the tracking error amplifier and tracking drive amplifier, and are output to
Pin 12.

APC Circuit
When the laser diode is driven with constant current, the optical output possesses large negative temperature
characteristics. Therefore, the current must be controlled with the monitor photodiode to ensure the output
remains constant. When APC_ON pin is connected to GND, APC is ON; connected to VCC, it is OFF.
