Description of Functions
RF Amplifier
Each signal current from the photodiodes A, B, C and D is I-V converted, and input to Pins 3, 4, 5 and 6.
These signals are added by the RF summing amplifier and equalized by the RF equalizing amplifier and then
output to Pin 16. When the RF signal is equalized, an equalizing circuit is added to Pin 17.

Tracking Error Amplifier
Each signal current from the photodiodes E and F is I-V converted and input to Pins 8 and 9 via an input
resistor which determines the gain. The signal is amplified by the gain amplifier, operated by the tracking error
amplifier and then the (F-E) signal is output to Pin 13.
The E input gain can be adjusted by Pin 11.
Pin 18 can be used as a bias for LC when connected to VCC and as a bias for PD IC when left open.

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. This constitutes the APC circuit. When LD ON pin is connected to VCC, APC is
ON; connected to VEE, it is OFF.
