  • Patent number: 8229047
    Abstract: An analog complex filter combines an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal to output first and second analog signals. An analog-to-digital converter converts the first and second analog signals into first and second digital signals. A first digital complex filter attenuates a component corresponding to the quadrature signal of the first digital signal and outputs the resultant signal as a third digital signal, and attenuates a component corresponding to the in-phase signal of the second digital signal and outputs the resultant signal as a fourth digital signal. An IQ imbalance correction circuit corrects a quadrature error and an amplitude error between the third and fourth digital signals.

  • Publication number: 20080123508
    Abstract: Conventional signal write correction circuits involve a problem that when n-phase clock is selected, the waveform may be distorted in high speed operation if the last-phase clock is selected. Two delay selection circuits (16a, 16b) select the odd-numbered edges and the even-numbered edges of a multipulse signal used for write correction. To select the edges, each of the delay selection circuits (16a, 16b) uses two enable signals. The exclusive OR of the outputs of the two delay selection circuits (16a, 16b) is taken to generate the timing of the multipulse signal.

  • Publication number: 20080101176
    Abstract: There has been an issue that the operation of a semiconductor circuit performing edge timing control cannot follow up in the multipulse generation process where high multiplication of speed progresses every year. A light strategy drive comprises a control register (22) storing timing edge information for generating the edge of a recording waveform signal, a PLL (23) generating a clock for generating the edge of a recording waveform signal, and a timing control circuit (24) for receiving timing edge information corresponding to the recording waveform signal from the control register (22) to output timing edge information having a predetermined amount of delay in parallel and compounding the edges based on the timing edge information outputted in parallel. Timing edge can be controlled with high precision even at the time of high speed operation, and a high precision multipulse can be generated.

  • Patent number: 7321620
    Abstract: The present invention provides an equalizer capable of accurately compensating for non-linearity of an input signal due to the asymmetry phenomenon, etc., during the disk production process. Two tap coefficients are provided in a coefficient unit. A comparator compares the value of a middle tap signal, which is a reference signal, and a threshold, so as to produce a selection signal based on the comparison result. The coefficient unit selects one of the two tap coefficients as the selected tap coefficient based on the selection signal, and a tap signal is multiplied with the selected tap coefficient. Thus, it is possible to adaptively switch the tap coefficients of the equalizer as a whole based on the value of the middle tap signal, which is the reference signal. Therefore, it is possible to accurately compensate for the non-linearity of the input signal.

  • Publication number: 20070296396
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a phase difference measurement circuit that can accurately measure any phase difference without requiring a pulse signal having a pulse width that is sufficiently narrower than a pulse width to be measured, i.e., a very-high-speed pulse signal, which is required when measuring a phase difference of two signals with accuracy. The phase difference measurement circuit is provided with a waveform control circuit (103) which outputs one (102) of two input signals for each predetermined period, a comparison pulse generation circuit (104) which converts a phase difference between the input signal (101) and the input signal (102) that is outputted for each predetermined period into a phase difference pulse (1042) at each predetermined timing, a periodic signal generation circuit (105) which generates a periodic signal (1051) by accumulating the phase difference pulse (1042), and a measurement circuit (106) which measures the period of the periodic signal (1051).
