摘要： Method and apparatus to correct an error of read-out data from a data storage medium, particularly a bit shift error, is described. The correction apparatus includes a gray bit detection circuit which flags bits with a phase shift exceeding a threshold and determines whether the previous or next bit cell has a smaller phase error. An RLL error detection circuit and a table containing valid bit combinations may be used in combination with the gray bit detector to correct errors on-the-fly without degrading performance. An advantage of the invention is that it allows correction of errors without regard to conventional ECC and its maximum number of errors.

摘要： A maximum mark length detector comprising a total value register for storing a total value Lsum of measured mark lengths; a measured value register for storing a measured value of a mark length; an arithmetic unit for computing the sum Lp of a current measured value Lk and a previously measured value PLk stored in the measured value register and subtracting a maximum value Lmax from the total value Lsum when the total value Lsum reaches the measured maximum value Lmax; a counter to count the number of times the subtraction is performed; and a comparator for completing the detection when a count value C of the counter reaches a predetermined value.

摘要： A method and apparatus are described which demodulate channel bits modulated by an arbitrary one of two modulation schemes, by making use of a consolidated reference table with a small address space. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: generating first output bits for representing patterns that correspond to patterns represented by first channel bits other than those patterns being unable to exist under first RLL constraints, the first output bits having a lesser number of bits than the first channel bits; and generating second output bits for representing patterns that correspond to patterns represented by second channel bits other than those patterns being unable to exist under second RLL constraints, the patterns represented by the second output bits being located at discontinuous areas of the patterns represented by the first output bits, the second output bits having a lesser number of bits than the second channel bits. The first and second output bits are used for designating an address of a demodulating reference table.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for modulating code for use with written optical disks such as digital video disks (DVD). The invention falitates 8/16 modulation by eliminating duplicate code conversion and by reducing the number of times that conversion codes must be looked up from a conversion table. A conversion code corresponding to a received input code is specified from among a plurality of conversion codes. Duplication information corresponding to the input code is read from a pre-processing table and duplicate information indicated duplicate conversion codes in the plurality of conversion codes is stored. Conversion code corresponding to the input code is read from the conversion table and is selectively stored with duplicate conversion codes being omitted.
