A recorded signal reproduction circuit in an optical disc information reading and recording apparatus converts a recorded signal recovered from an optical disc to PR (1, 2, 1) characteristics through a equalizer circuit, digitizes it through an A/D converter and at the same time also generates a clock signal synchronized in phase with the equalizer circuit output signal by using a binary edcoder circuit and a PLL circuit. This clock signal is then provided to an A/D converter as the sampling clock. The A/D converter output signal is then decoded to the original channel bit stream based on the clock signal. Because the equalizer circuit output signal is provided to both the binary encoder/PLL circuit and the A/D converter together, additional circuity for converting signals into a binary series of pulses is unnecessary and reduction of circuit scale is possible. Moreover, in case of a change-over in the frequency characteristics of the equalizer circuit, due to a change in recording and reproduction frequency, the change-over will not affect the phase relationship between an input signal to the A/D converter and a sampling clock. In addition, it becomes simple to adjust this phase relation.

A digital signal reproduction apparatus includes a first differential circuit for differentiating a reproduction signal reproduced from a recording medium. This differential circuit outputs a first order differential signal. A second differential circuit differentiates the first order differential signal of the reproduction signal and outputs a second order differential signal. A comparator compares the second order differential signal with a predetermined level to produce a window signal. A peak detecting circuit detects zero-cross points in the first order differential signal and outputs a peak detecting signal. A gate gates the peak detecting signal with the window signal to output a reproduction data signal.

An automatic gain control device for use in an optical memory device has a circuit for producing an amplification control signal which is fed back to a gain control amplifier through a sample-hold circuit. A pulse train detection circuit is provided for detecting the pulse train indicating that the data stored are a on the optical memory device is being playedback. When the pulse train is detected, the sample-hold circuit is made inactive so that the amplification control signal is directly fed back to the gain control amplifier, and when the pulse train ends, the sample-hold circuit is made active to hold the amplification control signal obtained at the end of the pulse train and to produce the amplification control signal held in the sample-hold circuit.

An information recording and reproducing device having an automatic gain control device wherein its amplification degree is adjusted according to an AGC voltage varying with an amplitude of a reproduced signal. The automatic gain control device has a holding circuit which holds the AGC voltage in each of recording and erasing operations, and also holds the AGC voltage in reproducing an un-recorded area of information. The AGC voltage is also used for determining an optimum recording condition for a recording medium. Instead of the holding circuit, by installing a limiter circuit for limiting an amplitude of a reproduced signal, and by the use of transient response of the reproduced signal due to an coupling situated before the limiter circuit, an appropriate amplification degree can also be obtained in the automatic gain control device. Further, the limiter circuit which is disposed at a stage before a reproduction circuit and also before a capacitor having the ac coupling, may restrain influence of the transient response of the ac coupling given on the reproduced signal, thereby making it possible to reproduce a signal with small amplitude immediately after recording or erasing operation.

An optical memory device for recording, reproducing, or erasing information applies an optical beam such as a laser beam onto a recording medium. The optical memory device includes a recorded region detecting circuit for detecting information recorded region formed in the recording medium. In the optical memory device, a timing control for recording, reproducing, or erasing is performed with the use of a result obtained through detection of a synchronizing signal, such as a sector mark, indicative of a starting point of an information block and another result obtained through detection in the recorded region detecting circuit. The recorded region detecting circuit includes either at least one peak hold circuit for detecting a peak level of the playback signal or a low pass filter for smoothing the playback signal, and a comparator for comparing an output obtained through the peak hold circuit or through the low pass filter with a reference voltage.

摘要:
In an information regenerating apparatus, recorded data constructed of a sector mark and a following header section having a plurality of data sets each having a pull-in pattern, an address mark and address information, is read out to form a regenerative signal which in turn is used to regenerate information. A phase-locked loop circuit in a signal synchronizing circuit, performs phase-synchronization with a regenerative signal at two different pull-in speeds. A speed indicating circuit, based on the counting of the number of clock pulses from a reference clock signal from a time of the generation of a sector mark detection signal showing the detection of the sector mark as a reference point, instructs the phase-locked loop circuit to set up a fast response speed every time the pull-in pattern appears on the regenerative signal, and instructs the phase-locked loop circuit to set up a slow response speed every time the pull-in pattern disappears from the regenerative signal.

A digital information reproducing apparatus is arranged to have a first envelope detecting circuit, a second envelope detecting circuit, an operating unit, a comparator, and a switching circuit. The first envelope detecting circuit serves to detect a envelope on the positive side of the output of an equalizing circuit. The second envelope detecting circuit serves to detect a envelope on the negative side of the output of the equalizing circuit. The operating unit serves to produce a difference of the outputs of the envelope detecting circuits. The comparator serves to compare an output of the operating unit with a predetermined signal level. The switching circuit serves to reduce a time constant on which charges stored in a capacitor of each of the envelope detecting circuits are discharged, based on the output signal of this comparator.
