DESCRIPTION The SP8034A represents the next generation APC amplifier with integrated photodetector. This device monitors the light intensity of the laser diode in CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM assemblies by sensing the laser power with an integrated photodiode. The amplified signal from the APC contains the laser power information. This signal is subsequently fed back to the laser diode driver to control its power. The on-chip photodetector transforms incident light into a proportional current. This current is then converted to a voltage through a transimpedance amplifier. Adjustable gain is provided in the transimpedance amplifier by means of a gain control loop that is controlled by an external resistor. The external resistor is not part of the signal path, which greatly reduces the effects of all parasitic capacitances and inductances on the flex cable at these pins. The signal is buffered to provide reactive load drive capability. The SP8034A achieves an unparalleled level of performance by combining excellent DC stability and low noise with outstanding AC performance. This level of performance is achieved using a proprietary fully complementary BiCMOS process with fully integrated, on-board photodetectors. The SP8034A is offered with a nominal gain of 2000V/W and is packaged in a 3.0mm x 3.5mm, 8 lead COB package.

THEORY OF OPERATION The SP8034A is an Automatic Power Control (APC) circuit for pick-up head applications. The part consists of a photo-detector that converts the light (780nm or 650nm) into current, and active circuitry (transimpedance amplifier and buffer) to convert the current into voltage. The overall transfer characteristics are therefore represented by a Voltage per Watt curve. There are three pins for gain adjust, using two separate external resistors for two separate gain modes. This allows different adjust for a DVD and a CD mode. The two resistors are each tied from the corresponding RG pin (pin 5 or 6, depending on the mode) to the common gain pin (pin 3). The gain adjust is proportional to the external resistance and is done by means of an analog duplication circuit that translates the resistance value in an active feedback circuit at the transimpedance amplifier. The fact that the external resistor is not in the signal path ensures a better signal quality and immunity to the parasitic capacitance/inductance on the pins 3,5 and 6. In dark condition, the output of the circuit will remain at the externally supplied VREF (1.9V 2.3V). When light (650nm or 780nm) is received on the photo-diode, the output (VOUT, pin 8) will swing negative with respect to VREF. The output swing is guaranteed to be at least 1.5V from VREF. For example, with VREF at 2V, the output can swing at least as low as 0.5V (absolute).

LAYOUT AND ROUTING CONSIDERATIONS A major consideration in developing the optical pick-up head system is the extremely small form factor, which is additionally aggravated by the physical locations required by the light path. Special care must be taken when designing the Flex or PCB for this part. The output peak current requirement is in the order of 12.5 mA when driving 50pF of capacitive load with a slew rate of 250V/s. Therefore care must be taken to provide low inductance, low resistance paths for power and ground and output traces. Supply coupling is also very important. Good supply decoupling is important to ensure the high frequency performance of the system by eliminating supply lead inductance effects. The decoupling capacitor C1, as shown in Figure 5, should be as close to the part as possible. This capacitor should be 0.1F ceramic. C2 is
CL C1 C2
optional to improve decoupling and is recommended to be 1 F tantalum. The layout of the PCB is pictured here. Note the wide and short traces on the supply lines. The traces for the gain resistors RGAIN1 and RGAIN2 are kept as short as possible to avoid excessive parasitics. Any parasitics on these nodes will limit the performance of the system. RGAIN1 and RGAIN2 are subminiature potentiometers in the application. This is a single layer board using FR4 material. In order to minimize coupling capacitance into the gain setting resistor nodes, it is also critical that VOUT+ and VOUT- are routed away from the traces associated with the gain-setting resistors.
