摘要:
A delay locked loop (DLL) circuit has a first delay line that delays a received external clock signal for a fine delay time and then outputs a first internal clock signal; a duty cycle correction unit that corrects a duty cycle of the first internal clock signal and then outputs a second clock signal; a second delay line that delays the second clock signal for a coarse delay time and then outputs a second internal clock signal; and a phase detection and control unit that detects the difference between the phases of the external clock signal and the fed back second internal clock signal, and controls the fine delay time and the coarse delay time. The DLL circuit performs coarse locking and fine locking by using different type delay cells, and thus consumes a small amount of power and robustly withstands jitter and variation in PVT variables.

A data output driver and a semiconductor memory device having the same are disclosed. This data output driver includes: a rising transition slope adjuster including a plurality of first delay units cascade-connected to each other and receiving data and generating delayed data, each of the first delay units having a delay time which varies in response to a first control signal; a falling transition slope adjuster including a plurality of second delay units cascade-connected to each other and receiving inverted data and generating delayed inverted data, each of the second delay units having a delay time which varies in response to a second control signal; a pull-up driver including a plurality of pull-up circuits, the driving capabilities of the pull-up circuits being adjustable in response to a third control signal, each pull-up circuit pulling-up output data in response to each of the data and the delayed data; and a pull-down driver including a plurality of pull-down circuits, the driving capabilities of the pull-down circuits being adjustable in response to a fourth control signal, each pull-down circuit pulling-down output data in response to each of the inverted data and the delayed inverted data, wherein the first control signal varies in response to the third control signal, and wherein the second control signal varies in response to the fourth control signal. Accordingly, the rising and falling transition slopes of the output data can be constant even when the driving capability is varied, so that output data having desired characteristics can be produced.

A method and apparatus compensating for disc eccentricity includes extracting eccentricity data from a tracking error signal having one period, generated by a tracking servo, detecting parameter values of an eccentricity component extracted during the extraction of the eccentricity data and transforming a reference sine wave based on the detected parameter values of the eccentricity component. The eccentricity data is replaced with the transformed reference sine wave and the replaced eccentricity data is added to the tracking error signal to compensate for the disc eccentricity.

A method of discriminating an optical disc type and an apparatus thereof. The method for an optical disc system of recording and/or reproducing an optical disc that includes an optical pickup having a laser diode, an object lens, and a light receiving device, checks a track error signal while moving the object lens to upward/downward, and discriminates an optical disc type by using the magnitude of the checked track error signal. The method and apparatus discriminate the disc type in the initial stage of focusing where the object lens moves to upward/downward.

A method for converting position data of a mini disc into corresponding regenerating time data of a cluster and a sector in the mini disc system. The method having a first step of converting time by using a time table based on the cluster word and a second step of converting time by using a time table based on the sector byte. The first step further includes the steps of dividing the cluster word into the upper and lower bytes, respectively, creating a first time table corresponding to the upper byte of the cluster and a second time table corresponding to the lower byte of the cluster, and obtaining converted time corresponding to the upper and lower bytes of the cluster in the first and second time tables. The converted time, which is represented in predetermined time units, is generated by adding the converted time for each of the upper and lower bytes of the cluster, and the converted time for the sector byte.
