CX-961 1. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS This unit is roughly divided into the preamplifier stage, servo unit, power supply unit and loading control unit. This LSI (large scale integrated circuit) implements eight automatic adjustments according to the combination of the preamplifier stage and servo unit used.

CX-961 1) Focus error amplifier unit This focus error amplifier outputs photodetector output (A + C) or (B + D) from pin 16 of IC201 (TA2150FN) via a differential amplifier and an error amplifier assuming (A + C - B -C) as an FE signal. The low frequency component of voltage FE is expressed as FE = (A + C - B - D) ×...

CX-961 3) RF amplifier unit The head amplifier LSI, TA2150FN, adds, amplifies and equalizes photodetector output (A+C) and (B+D), then outputs RF signal to the RFI pin. (This signal enables checking eye patterns.) Low frequency element contained in RFI voltage is formulated as follows: RFI = (A + B + C + D) ×...

CX-961 4) RFRP and RFCT signal circuit unit The RFCT signal which is the difference signal between the peak and bottom levels of the RF signal is generated through head amplifier (IC201). RFRP and RFCT can be monitored at TP203 (pin 20 of IC201 TA2150FN) and TP204 (pin 22 of IC201) respectively.

CX-961 6) APC circuit section A laser diode’s driving current must be controlled so that optical output could remain constant by using a monitoring diode, because optical output has high negative characteristics that causes a heat hang-up if the laser diode were driven at constant current.

CX-961 1.4 Power Supply Loading Unit This system power supply uses VD (8.3±0.5 V) supplied from the mother substrate. The VD supply destination is a 5-ch CD driver IC or 5 V regulator IC. The power supply used inside the system is the two systems of the above VD (drive system), and V+5 (control system).
