RF Amplifier for CD Players
Description
The CXA1821M is an IC developed for compact
disc players. This IC incorporates an APC circuit and
RF, focus error, and tracking error amplifiers for 3spot optical pickup output. (The voltage-converted
optical pickup output is supported.)
Features
• Low power consumption (40mW at ±2.5V)
• APC circuit
• Both single power supply (+5V) and dual power
supply (±2.5V) operations possible.
• Compatible with pickup for LC and PD
• Supports the RF amplifier at double speed.

Input pin of tracking
error amplifier for
Pins 8 and 9. An
external resistor for
V-I conversion
should be connected
because these pins
are for current input.
Gain adjustment of
input signal from Pin
9 for Pins 10 and 11.
Pin 18 is a bias for
LC when connected
to VCC and for PD IC
when left open.
DC voltage output
pin of (VCC + VEE)/2.
Connect to GND
when dual power
supply (±2.5V) is
used; connect a
smoothing capacitor
when single power
supply (+5V) is used.
Output pin of
tracking error
amplifier. The F-E
signal is output.
Output pin of focus
error amplifier.
