    摘要: A method and apparatus provides an improved optical storage disk player. An improved method and apparatus for obtaining a tracking error signal for an optical disk player is disclosed which is general across the various data formats found in CD audio disks, CD-ROMs, and digital video disks. The present invention uses a photodetector with at least four active areas to sense the reflected laser beam. A differential amplitude tracking error signal is generated by comparing the signal strength in the different active areas.

    摘要: A track seeking method is provided which relies on sampled seek information. No external sensors are employed and the seek information is intermittently stored along the tracks provided on the disk surface. In determining the actual velocity of the seek actuator, at least two methods for counting crossed tracks are utilized. Preferably, a 1/2-count method is used at lower seek velocities and a 16-count method is used at higher seek velocities. The 178 -count method involves the receipt of two counts for each track that is crossed, while the 16-count method involves counting every sixteen tracks that are crossed. The selection of the 1/2-count and the 16-count methods for counting tracks crossed results in a velocity gap region. The velocity gap region is a range of seek actuator velocities in which the servo loop is underdamped for the 16-count method and where folding occurs for the 1/2-count method. To overcome the underdamping and folding problems, various solutions have been devised. In one embodiment, the velocity profile is configured so that the gap region is crossed in a relatively short amount of time and the 16-count method is used in providing velocity feedback.

    摘要: An order in which bits for serial data are transmitted or received by a first device, integrated circuit (IC) or logic, is programmable to be either from most significant bit (MSB) to least significant bit (LSB) or from LSB to MSB. Therefore, when the first device is used with a second device, integrated circuit (IC) or logic, which can handle the serial data in only one order, the first device is programmed, or configured, to handle the serial data in the same order as the second device.

    摘要: A circuit generally comprising a first circuit and a phase lock loop. The first circuit may be configured to (i) collect a plurality of samples per cycle during a plurality of cycles of an input signal and (ii) calculate a phase offset and a frequency offset for the input signal relative to a clock signal in response to the samples. The phase lock loop may be configured to (i) preset a phase error signal to the phase offset and a frequency error signal to the frequency offset and (ii) generate the clock signal in response to the phase error signal and the frequency error signal.

    摘要: Calibration of read timing, write timing and focus is accomplished automatically by comparing reflectance signals. The timing or focus settings are preferably modified, and signals are again compared under the modified adjustment settings. The read timing adjustment includes comparing signals from mark positions immediately preceding and immediately following an isolated mark and adjusting read delay to achieve small or minimum differences between the signals at the mark positions immediately preceding and immediately following the isolated mark bit position. Focus calibration is accomplished by comparing the value of the signal from a mark with the value from a mark position immediately adjacent the mark and adjusting the focus offset until a larger maximum difference between the two signals is achieved. The write timing calibration is preferably achieved by causing the write circuitry to emit a low-power light beam in the vicinity of an unwritten mark position and adjusting the write timing delay circuitry until a low or minimum signal, i.e. high reflectance, is achieved at a desired mark position.

    摘要: A magneto-optical drive system having a computer that monitors the current in the bias coil of a magnetomotive field generator to determine when a predetermined current threshold is exceeded. When the threshold is exceeded, a sufficiently strong magnetic field is generated to permit writing of information on a storage medium utilizing a laser. A laser pulse generator is then enabled. The device thereby achieves a substantially shortened write cycle.
