  • Publication number: 20050118972
    Abstract: When a state in which the amplitude level of an RF signal is equal to or lower than a predetermined level is detected by a DEF signal generation unit 36 (RF signal level detection unit), an auto-gain control unit (AGC) 34 suppresses the amplification factor thereof to be lower than the amplification factor when the state is not detected. Thereby, the increase and the variation of the RF signal at the time of returning from a level lowering caused by a scratch or the like are suppressed.

  • Patent number: 6037823
    Abstract: A current to voltage conversion circuit is formed of a differential amplifier circuit (1) with a negative input terminal connected to a light receiving element (3) and a register (4) which feeds back an output signal to the negative input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit (1) thereof. The variable gain amplifier circuit (5) amplifies the output voltage of the current to voltage conversion circuit to detect the bottom value of the output signal thereof. The comparator circuit (7) compares the bottom value with the reference value Vr1 so that current flowing through the resistor (4) can be adjusted according to the difference between the bottom value and the reference value Vr1. The offset of the output signal from the variable gain amplifier circuit (5) supplied through the output terminal OUT is thereby adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5610887
    Abstract: An error signal generating circuit for adjusting a position of a sub-beam on an optical disc to a correct one. A timing circuit generates a test signal so that a driver drives a tracking coil. As a result, a difference signal is generated in a difference signal generating circuit and is then compared to a reference value in a comparing circuit. A controlling signal is generated in a controlling circuit in reply to a comparing error so as to be held in a holding circuit. The thus held controlling signal is converted into an analog signal in a D/A converter and is then applied to a VCA to vary the amplifying rate, such that the difference signal becomes zero when a correct tracking operation is being carried out.
