摘要:
The signal processor includes an analog filter, an analog-to-digital (A-D) converter, an adaptive equalization filter, a quality value calculating circuit, and a control circuit. The analog filter removes high-frequency noises of a played-back signal from a recording medium and amplifies a specific frequency band of the played-back signal. The A-D converter converts the played-back signal from the analog filter into a digital signal. The adaptive equalization filter performs waveform equalization of the played-back signal from the A-D converter while adjusting a tap coefficient of the adaptive equalization filter so as to reduce a difference between an output of the adaptive equalization filter and a target value. The quality value calculating circuit calculates a quality value based on the difference between the output of the adaptive equalization filter and the target value. The control circuit compares the quality value calculated by the quality value calculating circuit with a predetermined reference value, and conducts a process for improving the quality value according to the comparison result.

An encoding efficiency higher than 1 is achieved by accomplishing ternary recording on a recording medium. For this purpose, an 8-bit binary data word is converted to a 5-symbol ternary code word. A look-up table stores a modulation/demodulation table defining the correspondence between the binary data word (8B) and the ternary code word (5T). A table generating circuit generates the modulation/demodulation table to be stored in the look-up table such that each of constraints specified by a plurality of parameters is satisfied. If a PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) scheme is combined with an 8B5T code thus obtained, a signal-to-noise ratio is improved.

In a feedforward timing extractor for extracting timing information from a playback signal, a frequency ratio calculation section 2 calculates the ratio between the frequency of the playback signal and the frequency of the output clock of a frequency synthesizer 6 by utilizing a specific pattern and a specific pattern appearing interval in the playback signal. A control section 4 controls the frequency dividing rate of the frequency synthesizer 6 in such a manner that the frequency ratio calculated by the frequency ratio calculation section 2 has a set value. Thus, as compared with a case in which the output clock of the frequency synthesizer 6 is a high-frequency fixed-rate clock, it is not necessary to operate the digital circuits at high speeds. Consequently, even in cases where the playback frequency (the playback rate) of the signal changes with time, the decimation rate at which pulses of a fixed clock are eliminated is constant, thereby reducing power consumption.

In a feedforward control type reproduced signal processor, a clock generator 1 changes a clock frequency, depending on a digital value set by a digital value generator 7. Therefore, power consumption of a system is optimized and control is facilitated. Moreover, when a frequency lock state is established in which a frequency ratio calculated by a frequency ratio calculator 3 satisfies a set condition, a modulation component having a small change is generated using a clock of a clock generator 1. Therefore, the digital value is updated with the modulation component, so that a change in clock frequency of the clock generator 1 gradually varies. As a result, the influence of the change in clock frequency on the response of a decoding process is reduced.
