摘要:
The present invention provides an equalizer capable of accurately compensating for non-linearity of an input signal due to the asymmetry phenomenon, etc., during the disk production process. Two tap coefficients are provided in a coefficient unit. A comparator compares the value of a middle tap signal, which is a reference signal, and a threshold, so as to produce a selection signal based on the comparison result. The coefficient unit selects one of the two tap coefficients as the selected tap coefficient based on the selection signal, and a tap signal is multiplied with the selected tap coefficient. Thus, it is possible to adaptively switch the tap coefficients of the equalizer as a whole based on the value of the middle tap signal, which is the reference signal. Therefore, it is possible to accurately compensate for the non-linearity of the input signal.

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.

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.
