The device includes: an extraction section for extracting the wobble signal of the optical disk from an output of the optical head; a synchronization clock generation section for generating a synchronization clock signal based on the wobble signal extracted by the extraction section; and a recording/reproduction section for performing at least one of recording and reproduction of data to/from the optical disk by the synchronization clock signal generated by the synchronization clock generation section.
摘要:
A regenerated signal process circuit of an optical disk device is developed to solve the problem that a jitter margin is lowered without an optimum regeneration condition because, when data is regenerated independent of a transfer rate, a data frequency fluctuates against a set value of an AGC, a waveform equalization circuit, a binarization circuit, or the like. In a signal process circuit, a set value of the AGC (104), the waveform equalization circuit (105), the binarization circuit (106), or the like is controlled by referring to the amount of oscillation control current of the VCO (1002) of a frequency synthesizer. The characteristics of the VCO of the data PLL (1001) is set equal to the characteristics of the VCO (1002) of the frequency synthesizer, and each set value is controlled by referring to the oscillation control current of each VCO. Then, the reference current is switched depending on the synchronization state of the data PLL (1001). In addition, the gain of the charge pump (114) is adjusted based on the division ratio of the N divider (111) such that the frequency synthesizer has loop characteristics of constant and stable oscillation.

The data recording/reproducing device according to the present invention, in response to the detected signal output from the data error detector, repeats a reading operation to form a data from a reproduced signal. The gate signal generator includes an envelope detector and a comparator. The envelope detector has a time constant which is changed in accordance with the detected signal output from the data error detector, and forms a threshold signal that generally follows a level variation of the reproduced signal in accordance with the time constant. The comparator compares the reproduced signal and the threshold signal output from the envelope detector so as to form the gate signal.

An apparatus operates for recording and reproducing information on and from a recording medium formed with a track and pre-pits. The track has a wobble. The pre-pits are in a predetermined phase relation with the wobble of the track. The apparatus includes a pickup for reproducing a signal from the recording medium. A limiter operates for limiting an amplitude of the signal reproduced by the pickup in response to a limiting level, and thereby processing the signal reproduced by the pickup into a limiting-resultant signal. A filter operates for suppressing components of the limiting-resultant signal, and thereby processing the limiting-resultant signal into a filtering-resultant signal. The components have specified frequencies, and are caused by the pre-pits. The limiting level for the limiter is generated in response to the filtering-resultant signal. A signal caused by the wobble of the groove is extracted from the filtering-resultant signal.

An optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus includes: recording/reproducing means for recording/reproducing information by emitting a light beam onto a disc having a track which wobbles at a predetermined frequency; reflected light detection means for detecting the light beam reflected from the disc; wobble signal detection means for detecting a wobble amplitude signal which represents an amplitude of a signal generated from a component which is extracted from an output of the reflected light detection means and which wobbles at the predetermined frequency; and variation rate detection means for detecting dirt adhered on the disc based on a rate of a variation in the wobble amplitude signal, wherein the variation rate detection means detects the dirt based on the wobble amplitude signal before the recording/reproducing means records/reproduces the information.

An optical disc apparatus reads the address information from an optical disc which has tracks and track spaces formed between tracks. The apparatus has an optical head which irradiates the disc with light and includes tracking detectors, divided into a first detector and a second detector in a track direction, detecting the light reflected from the disc and outputting detection signals, an adjusting circuit which adjusts amplitudes of the first and second detection signals and outputs the signals at a position where the address information is recorded, a differential amplifying circuit which outputs the differential signal which is the difference between the adjusted first and second detection signals, and an address detecting circuit which detects the address information based on the differential signal. As a result, the optical disc apparatus accurately detects whether information is being recorded on a correct track and improves the reliability during recording.
摘要:
The sector synchronism of a timing generation section for generating data recording/reproducing timing is corrected at the address-mark detection timing of an address-mark detection section. Moreover, even if only one piece of address information having no error is not reproduced in the sector concerned, when at least one piece of address information having no error is reproduced in any of a predetermined number of sectors preceding the subject sector and at least one address mark is detected in the subject sector, the data recording/reproducing is permitted, and thus, the data is recorded/reproduced at a high speed and a high reliability even if an error rate of a physical address is deteriorated.
