  • Publication number: 20060221778
    Abstract: The object is to provide an optical disc drive and a recording/reproduction method for optical disc devices capable of returning to an ordinary operation, even if an over-current generates due to an instantaneous current consumption, since the power supply from a USB port is not shut down. The object is solved by the constitution which is provided with a current detection unit that detects the current flowing in from the power supplying unit of a USB port, temporarily turns off at least one of an actuator driver, feed motor driver or spindle motor driver when the inflow current exceed a pre-determined value, and sustains such temporary turn-off of at least one of the actuator driver, feed motor driver or spindle motor driver intermittently until the inflow current decreases to the threshold or below.
