3-2. Focus Servo
The aim of Focus Servo is to maintain the distance between object lens of P/U and disc surface, so that
the detected RF signals (A, B, C, D) can be maximized.
Focus Servo is based on focus error (FE) signal which is generated from focus error detection block in
MT1506(IC401) using Astigmatism Method. Focus gain and path can be changed at the MT1506
according to the disc, and the resulting output (FE) is input to Servo IC (IC301, MT1505).
FE signal after first amplification in MT1505 is A/D converted and input to Digital Equalizer Block, most
important part at the Focus Servo. At the Digital Equalizer, adjustments for Focus Bias and Loop Gain are
performed.
After D/A converted, Focus servo signal is output through FOO port (MT1505, Pin115) and drive Focus
Actuator through the Focus Drive IC (IC501, M63024FP).
3-3. Tracking Servo
The aim of Tracking Servo is to make laser beam trace the data track on disc. Tracking Error (TE) signal
is generated from tracking error detection block in MT1506 (IC401) using DPP (Differential Push-Pull)
Method. DPP method uses not only main beam (A, B, C, D) but side beams (E,F and G, H) for correcting
DC offset generated in Push-Pull method.
The remaining procedures of TE signal processing in MT1505 is similar to Focus Servo.
After D/A converted, Tracking servo signal is output through TRO port (MT1505, Pin114) and drive
Tracking Actuator through the Tracking Drive IC (IC501, M63024FP).
3-4. Sled Servo
The working distance of tracking actuator is too short to cover whole disc radius. Sled Servo make PU
move by little and little so that the laser beam keep tracing the data track on disc continuously when
tracking actuator reaches the working limit.
Another function of Sled Servo is to seek a target point on disc, following user commands.
Sled control signal, STEP 1, 2 is generated in MT1505. STEP 1, 2 are output to sled motor via IC501
(M63024FP).
