A method and circuit for providing a playback signal which is compensated for time delay. The circuit includes a time delay compensator for detecting a time difference between outputs of a photodetector and temporally matching part of the outputs of the photodetector and another part of the outputs of the photodetector, between which the time difference occurs, to compensate for time delay between different outputs of the photodetector, and an operational unit for summing the part of the outputs of the photodetector, which is compensated for the time delay, and the other part of the outputs of the photodetector to provide a playback signal. Accordingly, the circuit compensates for the time delay between the outputs of the photodetector, thereby increasing the degree of modulation of the data playback signal. In addition, the circuit maximumly suppresses the distortion or degradation of the signal and minimizes the occurrence of errors in the playback signal, thereby improving the reliability of the playback signal.

A flip-flop circuit includes a latch that holds an input signal responsive to an internal clock signal, a comparing circuit that compares the input signal with a latch output to provide a comparison signal, and an internal clock generator that receives an external clock signal and generates an internal clock signal responsive to the comparison signal. The internal clock generating circuit performs a NAND operation on the external clock signal and a delayed inverted version of the external clock signal, to generate the internal clock signal having pulse width smaller than the external clock signal and having rising and falling edges synchronized with the external clock signal. Power consumption is low because the clock buffer and the internal clock generating circuit do not perform switching operations when there is little or no variation in the input signal of the flip-flop.

A compatible optical pickup includes an optical disc, an objective lens, a diffractive device, and a divergent lens. The optical unit emits a short wavelength light beam corresponding to a high density optical disc and a long wavelength light beam corresponding to a low density optical disc. The objective lens forms a light spot on the high density optical disc and the low density optical disc and the diffractive device diffracts the short wavelength light beam to correct chromatism according to a change in a wavelength of the short wavelength light beam. The divergent lens refracts the long wavelength light beam toward the objective lens to increase a working distance with respect to the low density optical disc.
