An optical data medium driving apparatus which constitutes amplifiers for an output current signal of a photosensor including a plurality of current mirror circuits having different amplification factors in order to switch, in a wide range, the output current signal of the photosensor. The photosensor detects a quantity of the reflected light corresponding to a variation of the quantity of reflected light from an optical data medium having various characteristics. The output is obtained with high accuracy and in a wide band. A servo-circuit is used for an AGC circuit and normalizes a difference signal from each light receiving surface at a photosensor having a plurality of light receiving surfaces. An A/D converter is given the difference signal as an analog input signal and the sum signal as the reference input signal. The A/D converter outputs an offset binary type digital signal, thereby being inexpensive to produce, easy to be integrated having high function, and high in reliability.
