    摘要: An analog level meter and a method of measuring an analog signal level may be provided. The analog level meter may include a comparator, a duty counter, an analog level detector and/or a digital to analog converter (DAC). The comparator may compare a voltage level of the analog signal with a reference voltage and generate an up-down signal. The duty counter may count a duty value of the up-down signal. The analog level detector may output a duty error value obtained by subtracting a target duty value from the duty value of the up-down signal. The analog level meter may output the reference voltage as a measured value of the analog signal when the duty error value is a desired or predetermined value.

    摘要: A brake signal generating circuit and method for improving the efficiency of a lens brake in an optical disc reproducing system are provided. The brake signal generating circuit includes: a brake signal generator which receives a mirror signal that detects the track movement of a main beam and generates a first brake signal or a second brake signal for selecting predetermined operation mode signals in response to a first brake selection signal; a first operation mode generator which generates a processing value of the gain and phase of a tracking error as a first operation mode signal in response to a predetermined first control signal; a second operation mode generator which generates a correction value of a tracking loop offset as a second operation mode signal in response to a second control signal; a third operation mode generator which generates a value obtained by multiplying a value of the first operation mode signal by a predetermined value K1, where K1 is a non-zero real number, as a third operation mode signal; a fourth operation mode generator which generates as a fourth operation mode signal a value obtained by subtracting the value of the first operation mode signal from a value of the second operation mode signal, multiplying the result of the subtraction by the predetermined value K1, and adding the value of the second operation mode signal to the product; a fifth operation mode generator which generates a predetermined reference voltage as a fifth operation mode signal; and a switch unit which outputs one of the first through fifth operation mode signals in response to the first or second brake signal and second through fourth brake selection signals. The amount of braking is inverted in accordance with the amount of error in a track deviation direction and multiplied by a gain factor to improve the brake efficiency. In addition, the settling time after a track jump is reduced, the data access can be faster, and the unstable state, for example, due to track skipping, can return to the original stable state quickly.

    摘要: An optical signal conversion apparatus in a compact disk player detects peaking in an RF signal read from a disk and compensates to reproduce a stable conversion signal, for example an EFM signal. In the optical signal conversion apparatus, a peaking prevention portion detects peaking of the RF input signal and outputs a predetermined reference voltage, if the peaking is detected, or alternately the input signal, if the peaking is not detected. A waveform processing portion extracts a high frequency component from the signal output from the peaking prevention portion, slices the extracted signal as a predetermined level, and outputs the sliced signal.

An error signal generator generates a tracking error signal from the pick-up traversing across the tracks of the disc in accordance with the track traversing signal. A parameter calculator determines a value of a calibration parameter from the tracking error signal that is generated without delay and without signal distortion from low frequency components.
