6. Alarm Function
In Table 6-1, the outline of the AK2572 Alarm (ALM) functions such as TEMPALM, OPTALM, CURRALM,
EXTALM1 and EXTALM2, and TXFAULT output function where alarms to be selected by EEPROM/Register
setting are logically OR-ed, are listed.

When detected temperature equivalent value
exceeds ALM set value (E_TEMPALM)
When monitor PD input voltage becomes lower
than ALM set value (RE_OPTALM)
When a current to be set to DAC exceeds ALM set
value (RE_CURRALM_BIAS / MOD)

EEPROM / Register setting (Refer to note above in
this table)

[*] The detect time does not include the delay time caused by a time constant of external Rpd and Cpd.
6.1 TEMPALM
TEMPALM is generated when the following relation is established after digitally comparing the A-to-D
converted temperature sensor output value (R_TEMP [7:0]) with the ALM set value (R_TEMPALM) :
R_TEMP≧E_TEMPALM
6.2 OPTALM
1/3, 1/4, 1/6 or 1/7 value of the APC target value (apc_ref) can be set as OPTALM set value (optalm_ref) by
RE_OPTALM setting. OPTALM detect is done by an analog comparator and it is generated when the following
relation is established
vpd＜optalm_ref
6.3 CURRALM
CURRALM is generated when one of the following 3 conditions is met after digitally comparing DAC setting
value for Modulation current (R_DAC1 [I-DAC1 set value] or R_DAC3 [V-DAC3 set value]) or DAC setting value
for Bias current (R_DAC2 [I-DAC2 set value]) with the CURRALM setting value (R_CURRALM_BIAS,
R_CURRALM_MOD):
R_DAC2 (Upper 4 bits)＞R_CURRALM_BIAS
or R_DAC1(Upper 4 bits)＞R_CURRALM_MOD, or R_DAC3(Upper 4 bits)＞R_CURRALM_MOD
Alarm threshold values R_CURRALM_BIAS and R_CURRALM_MOD can be set in accordance with the LD
temperature characteristic (Set by approximately every 6 ℃ step with the data in E_CURRALM_BIAS_TC,
E_CURRALM_MOD_TC, Refer to Table 9-3).
CURRALM is also generated when either of R_DAC1 (R_DAC3) or R_DAC2 becomes its full code (FFh).
When a shutdown request is made, CURRALM is set to “Inactive“ polarity.
6.4 EXTALM1, EXTALM2
When the same polarity ALM signal is input on EXTALM1-pin as set by RE_EXTALM1_POL, EXTALM1
detection is made. On the other hand, when the same polarity ALM signal is input on EXTALM2 /
MOD_CTRL-pin as set by RE_EXTALM2_POL, EXTALM2 detection is made if RE_PWR_LVL1_SET＝”0” or
RE_SFP_SET＝”0” (EXTALM2 / MOD_CTRL -pin is set to EXTALM2-pin)
When RE_EXTALM1/2_POL＝"0", the ALM detect polarity of “H” at EXTALM1/2-pin is set.
When RE_EXTALM1/2_POL＝"1", the ALM detect polarity of “L” at EXTALM1/2-pin is set.
