    摘要: The present invention discloses a fully integrated data synchronization circuit for a disk drive read channel system. The data synchronization system comprises dual data synchronizers to provide read reference clocks. Dual PLL circuits are coupled to the data synchronizers to provide a stable reference frequency to data synchronizers. One of the two data synchronizers is used to obtain leading edge data, while the other is for trailing edge data. Each PLL circuit comprises a phase detector, a charge pump, and a VCO. A loop filter is used in conjunction with a charge pump to control loop characteristics of the PLLs. In an idle mode, one of the PLLs is used as a time base generator to provide a stable reference frequency to data synchronizers. Once data synchronizers achieve lock using the stable reference frequency and switch over to read data, the time base generator PLL is switched over to function as a data synchronizer PLL in a read mode. Thus, one of the PLLs is used as both time base generator and data synchronizer PLL, thereby eliminating the need for extra PLL circuitry and requiring only two PLL circuits to support time base generation and data synchronization.

    摘要: The present invention offers an optical disk determination circuit that can improve the stability of the operation to detect the peak (pulse signal) of the received light signal, and that can improve the stability of the optical disk determination operation. When determining the type of optical disk corresponding to the depth from the surface of the plane on which a light beam is irradiated to the data recording layer, light is irradiated while varying the focal position of the light beam at a constant velocity in one direction of the depth direction from the surface of the optical disk. The bottom level of the received light signal corresponding to the intensity of this reflected light is clamped at a specified level by the bottom clamp circuit 43. The received light signal with the bottom level clamped is compared with a specified reference voltage Vref by the comparator 45, and the received light signal peak (pulse signal) is detected corresponding to the results of this comparison. The type of optical disk is determined by measuring the difference in this peak (pulse signal) detection time.

    摘要: A timing signal generating apparatus comprises a first shift register having an input supplied with a first select signal and shifting the first select signal with a first reference clock signal, a second shift register having an input supplied with timing data for shifting the timing data with the first reference clock signal, a first selector having an input supplied with the output of the first shift register and extracting the output from the first shift register at a position corresponding to the stage designated by a second select signal, a second selector having an input supplied with the output of the second shift register for producing the output from the second shift register at a position corresponding to the stage designated by the second select signal, a gate circuit having inputs supplied with a second reference clock signal delayed in phase relative to the first reference clock and the output of the first selector, respectively, a counter for counting a clock signal of a repetition period shorter than that of the first reference clock signal, the counter being reset in response to the output of the gate circuit, a setting circuit having an address input supplied with the output of the second selector, an inhibit signal generating circuit having an input supplied with the second select signal, and a coincidence detection circuit having inputs supplied with the output of the counter, the output of the inhibit signal generating circuit and the output of the setting circuit, respectively. The coincidence detection circuit responds to the output of the inhibit signal generating circuit to be inhibited from producing the output for the period during which the second select signal is changed over. The timing signal derived from the coincidence detection circuit is delayed for a time equal to a sum resulting from the addition of the period of the reference clock signal multiplied with the stage number of the shift registers and a value set at the setting circuit.

Voltage division of top envelope signal Ste and bottom-hold signal Sbh of RF signal Srf is performed by voltage divider (16); then, after amplification by gain control amplifier (19) with a gain that corresponds to the type of optical disc (1), a prescribed offset is added by offset circuit (22) to the signal, and the resulting signal is input as mirror detection threshold signal Smt to comparator (24). The high-frequency noise component of bottom envelope signal Sbe of RF signal Srf is removed by low-pass filter (21); after amplification by gain control amplifier (20) with a gain that corresponds to the type of optical disc (1), the signal is input to comparator (24). Depending on the result of the comparison of the level of said amplified bottom envelope signal S4 with that of mirror detection threshold signal Smt, mirror detection signal Sm is generated.
