Patent number: 7342859Abstract: In an optical recording system, according to a wobble sync signal obtained from a wobble signal associated with a physical track of a recording medium being recorded with input data by a recording module operated in a default constant angular velocity (CAV) recording mode, operation of the recording module can be switched from the CAV recording mode to a constant linear velocity (CLV) recording mode by a mode control switch. The mode control switch is forced to switch operation of the recording module to the CLV recording mode when result of a comparison between a write clock signal generated from the wobble sync signal when the recording module is operated by the mode control switch in the CAV recording mode, and a threshold signal corresponding to a threshold recording speed in the CAV recording mode indicates that the recording mode should be switched to the CLV recording mode but the mode control switch still keep the recording module staying in the CAV recording mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Mediatek, Inc.Inventors: Tzu-Ming Chou, Yao-Lung Chuang

Publication number: 20070153655Abstract: In the present invention, an identification code of the recording medium is searched in a first memory and a second memory. If the identification code is failed to be found in the memories, an optimized power calibration (OPC) operation is executed to generate new OPC data. The new OPC data is stored in the first memory. If the identification code is found in one of the memories, a current temperature and a past temperature of the recording medium are compared. If a difference between the temperatures exceeds a predetermined value, then the OPC operation is performed. Therefore, unnecessary optimized power calibration (OPC) operations are avoided. The power used for the recorder is also adjusted according to the temperature variation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2005Publication date: July 5, 2007Inventor: Yao-lung Chuang
