FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. Explanation for the
‘
mode
’
AK2570 has the 2 operational modes,
“
Self-operation mode
”
and
“
Training mode
”
.
After executing the evaluation and the adjustment for the LD module including AK2570 in
“
Training mode
”
, it
is possible to use AK2570 ordinarily in
“
Self-operation mode
”
for compensating the temperature drift of the LD
module.
“
Self-operation mode
”
is the ordinary operational mode. If the ambient temperature drifts, AK2570 can
maintain the emission intensity of the LD module constant by executing the APC operation, i.e. controlling the
Bias- and the Modulation- current for the LD module, periodically (the compensation period is about 100msec)
in
“
Self-operation mode
”
. (See p.6) On the other hand, in
“
Training Mode
”
, it is possible to evaluate and adjust
AK2570 and the LD module by the access to the data in the EEPROM and the registers. (See p.7)

Command for Self-operation mode
Command for Training mode
[Note 1] While operating in
“
Self-operation mode
”
, it is possible to shift to
“
Training mode
”
by executing
‘
Command for Training mode
’
and this is the only available command. That is to say that any other
command is not effective in
“
Self-operation mode
”
.
[Note 2] On the other hand, while operating in
“
Training mode
”
, it is possible to shift to
“
Self-operation mode
”
by executing
‘
Command for Self-operation mode
’
or forcing the
‘
L
’
level signal to SK-pin for 50ms
more and AK2570 shifts to
“
Self-operation mode
”
with behaving as same as the operation at
‘
Power
ON
’
.
