2. Driver
Fig 2-1 illustrates the block diagram of the driver function.
AK2573A has two current DACs, I-DAC1 and I-DAC2. I-DAC1 is for modulation current and I-DAC2 is for bias
current. Table 1-1 and 1-2 show I-DAC1, I-DAC2characteristics.

3. DATA / CLK I/F (LVPECL)
The AK2573A supports direct data or latched data input (see Table 3-1). Connect CLKP = VSS, and connect CLKN
= VDD or leave open when SEL =“L”.
