    摘要: A digital loop filter receives a phase error output from a phase comparator to generate a digital frequency value. This digital frequency value is converted into an analog voltage by a D/A converter, and VCO outputs a synchronizing dock of frequency corresponding to the voltage output from the D/A converter. The phase error output from a phase comparator is gain-corrected by a product of an output from the digital loop filter and a specific coefficient “A”, and delivered to digital loop filter. The phase error input to the digital loop filter is changed in proportion to the output clock frequency, whereby the PLL loop as whole linearly controls the loop characteristic depending on the output clock frequency.

    摘要: A digital PLL (phase locked loop) circuit (and method thereof), includes an AAF (anti aliasing filter) that limits a frequency bandwidth of an input RF (radio frequency) signal on the basis of a given cutoff frequency, an ADC (analog to digital converter) that samples an output signal of the AAF on the basis of a given sampling frequency, a down converter that converts a data rate of the ADC, and a digital phase tracking unit that generates a synchronous clock signal from an output signal of the down converter on the basis of a given internal frequency. The cutoff frequency and the sampling frequency are fixed, respectively, even when a frequency bandwidth of the RF signal fluctuates. The down converter reduces the data rate according to an increase in the frequency bandwidth of the RF signal.

    摘要: An information readout apparatus includes analog to digital converting means, equalizing means, interpolating means, maximum likelihood detecting means and PLL means. The analog to digital converting means converts a read signal read out from an optical disc medium, on which data is recorded with run length limited code that the shortest run length is 1, into a digital signal, and outputs the digital signal in synchronous with a first clock signal with a frequency which is N/M times of a channel frequency. At this time, N is an integer equal to or more than 2 and M is an integer meeting N/M>0.5. The equalizing means equalizes said digital signal to a previously specified partial response (PR) characteristic in synchronous with said first clock signal signal. The interpolating means converts N input data outputted from said equalizing means into M output data, and outputs output data in synchronous with a second clock signal with a frequency of 1/M times of the channel frequency. The maximum likelihood detecting means converts the output data outputted from said interpolation means into an M-bit detection data, and outputs said detection data in synchronous with said second clock signal signal. The PLL means generates said first clock signal and said second clock signal based on said read signal.

    摘要: An A/D converter samples a read signal in synchrony with a system clock sclk having a fixed frequency, to perform an A/D conversion. A fluctuation compensator is configured as an internal-feedback-type compensation filter, and suppresses fluctuation of a digital signal output from the A/D converter. A digital PLL uses an interpolator to generate, by interpolation, a sampled value of the read signal at a timing in synchrony with a channel frequency, and uses NCO to generate a synchronizing clock and an interpolated-phase signal that is fed back to the interpolator. A binarization circuit binarizes the read signal based on the interpolated value output from the interpolator. The frequency characteristic of the fluctuation compensator is controlled based on the frequency value output from the loop filter.

    摘要: In a direct current fluctuation level detecting circuit, differences between sample values and a Viterbi detector reference level are summed in an interval of n samples using path selection information and minimum path metric information, which are detected in a Viterbi detector, and the function is completed through further operations in a branch difference generating circuit and an AS circuit. A direct current level V0 can be detected by a further process where an AS circuit output is multiplied by 1/n in a multiplier and the multiplication result is stored in a register. A timing generating circuit controls latching of the register and clearing of a path difference value with a cycle of n samples. A detected direct current level V0 is fed back to an input to compensate a direct current level fluctuation in an adaptive manner.

    摘要: A PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) signal processing apparatus for both MP (Mark Position) recorded medium and ME (Mark Edge) recorded medium. The apparatus has a PR (Partial Response) equalizer to which the reproduction signal from the medium is inputted, a folded back value calculation circuit for folding back an input signal thereto with a predetermined level, and a Viterbi detector having a path memory and performing a Viterbi detection. The path memory is constructed based on a structure of a trellis for a signal recorded by the MP recording. In case of the MP recorded medium, the equalizer transfer characteristics and the reference amplitude both for the MP recording are set to the PR equalizer and the Viterbi detector, respectively, and the output of the PR equalizer is directly supplied to the Viterbi detector. On the other hand, in case of the MP recorded medium, the equalizer transfer characteristics and the reference amplitude both for the ME recording are set, and the output of the PR equalizer is supplied to the Viterbi detector via the folded back value calculation circuit.

    摘要: A level sensor circuit compares a threshold level from a threshold value generator circuit with that of an input sampling signal to create a binarized pulsated signal. A change point detector circuit detects a change point of binary information indicated by the input pulsates signal or positions before and after the change point and thereby sends a change point detection signal(s) to a threshold level generator circuit. The threshold level generator circuit extracts from the sampling signals only ones at points of time when the change point detection signal is inputted from the change point detector circuit and then averages the extracted sampling signals with respect to time to generate a threshold level.
