9. Operation Mode
TheAK2573A has 3 operatingmodes: Self-running, Adjustment and EEPROM mode.
9.1 Self-running Mode
Self-running mode is ready for normal operation after all adjustments are completed. In this mode, temperature
detection, EEPROM access and feeding current are automatically performed using the on-chip oscillator. The
AK2573A works in this mode after power-on.
9.2 Adjustment Mode
Adjustment mode is designed for training the LD characteristics. The AK2573A operates according to the register
settings set through the I2CTM I/F. During adjustment mode, R_SFP should be 0.
9.3 EEPROM Mode
EEPROM modeis used for storing LD characteristics into EEPROM.
9.4 MODE Control
The AK2573A operation modes are changed through the I2CTM interface. Table 9-1 shows the access limitation of
each operation mode and Table 9-2 shows the command to change operation mode.
Note: The I2CTM interface access is prohibited for 1ms after power-on or mode transfer to self-running mode.
