摘要:
A delay line calibration mechanism includes a first delay line, a second delay line, a phase detector, and a controller. The first delay line receives a first pulse and a first delay selection signal, and delays the first pulse for a first delay period according to the first delay selection signal to output a first delayed pulse. The second delay line receives a second pulse and a second delay selection signal, and delays the second pulse for a second delay period according to the second delay selection signal to output a second delayed pulse. The phase detector generates a phase difference signal indicating the phase difference between the first delayed pulse and the second delayed pulse by comparing the first delayed pulse and the second delayed pulse. The controller generates the second delay selection signal, and generates the first delay selection signal according to the phase difference signal.

摘要:
A signal processing method and an optical pickup are capable of reducing signal distortion. Before being transmitted over a flexible cable to an optical disk drive controller, a low-pass filtering process is performed over the light detection signals or their arithmetic results in the optical pickup to eliminate high frequency compositions of the signals. By this way, the interference resulting from the flexible cable during signal transmission is mitigated. The retained data in the signals are further applied to recover servo control signals. Therefore, the stability of an optical disk servo control is improved, especially for a high-speed optical disk system.

A control circuit for an optical pickup head in an optical disk drive for outputting filtered signals. The control circuit includes a laser drive unit for receiving a laser control signal to control a laser light source to generate a laser beam with a specified power, a photo detector for receiving the laser beam reflected from an optical disk and outputting a plurality of light detection signals, and a filter unit for filtering out the high frequency components of the light detection signals and then outputs the filtered signals. Since the high frequency components have been suppressed in the filtered signals, the transmission distortion can be reduced when the filtered signals are transmitted to the optical disk drive controller through a flexible cable. Accordingly, a more stable wobble signal can be obtained by the optical disk drive controller to enhance the stability of the optical disk drive operation based on the filtered signals.
