ABSTRACT:
The address information of DVD-R or DVD-RW discs should be identified more accurately. Therefore, the detector is implemented with a sample/hold device for storing a reference value to be used for a sampling window. An optional integrator is used for comparing the integrated signal with a reference value to decide on the presence of a land pre-pit. The timing for controlling both the sample/hold device and the integrator is derived from a phase locked loop that is locked to the incoming groove wobble signal (TWin) by performing a clock multiplication with a predetermined factor. Advantageously, no band pass filter has to be included, which would need to be tuned according to the variations of the disc speed. Furthermore, the proposed land pre-pit detector is less affected by variations of the input amplitude, as no limiter is used.
