ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a track access apparatus and a method by which an optical pick-up unit quickly accesses a destination track of an optical disc by controlling a tracking actuator using a back electromotive force by detecting the vibration of an objective lens, the position variation, and the distortion of an actuator which occur when the optical pick-up unit is moved across the tracks of the optical disc at a high speed. In the present invention, there are provided a photodetector for detecting the amount of the beams of a side spot and a main beam spot based on two sub-beams and one main beam, a differential amplifier for differentiating the two signals of the sub-beams and outputting a tracking error signal, a first phase/gain compensation unit for compensating the phase and gain of the tracking error signal, a position detection unit for detecting the position of the objective lens from two signals of the main beam, a second phase/gain compensation unit for compensating the phase and gain of the lens position detection signal, a microcontroller for outputting a switch control signal, a switch for selecting an output of a first or second phase/gain compensation unit based on the switch control signal, a power amplifier for amplifying the output of the switch, and a tracking actuator for driving the objective lens in the track direction and the radial direction of the tracks.
