Description

Asymmetry measurement mechanism and correlation technique
Technical field
The present invention more particularly, is relevant a kind of asymmetry measurement mechanism of measuring the asymmetry value of a record data reproduction waveform in the optical disc drive with digital form about a kind of asymmetry measurement mechanism and correlation technique.
Background technology
Figure 1A is the optical disc drive of a prior art.In general, be stored in the discs data be sent to demoder before, can be adjusted into a desired value with amplitude earlier through amplifying and digitized step with signal.Variable gain amplifier 102, analog-digital converter 104 and automatic beneficial control device 106 form an automatic gain controller loop, are used for adjusting the gain of optical signalling #RF.And null detector 110 provides an extra data path, in order to the space state (blankness) of detection optical signal #RF, wherein the space state of optical signalling #RF is corresponding to the burning section (blank sector) not of at least one blank in the track on the discs.If the amplitude size of optical signalling #RF is lower than a critical value, then this optical signalling #RF is to should space state, so demoder 108 do not start, and corresponding discs record section (recording sector) then is judged to be not burning section of blank.Relative, if optical signalling #RF is not a space state, then null detector 110 transmits an activation signal #en to this demoder 108, and demoder 108 is started, and carries out decoding processing with the data-signal #DATA to analog-digital converter 104 outputs.
Figure 1B is the synoptic diagram of definition space state.When the amplitude of optical signalling #RF size subcritical value (+th and-th) time, then Dui Ying record section then is considered as blank section.Relative, when the amplitude size of optical signalling #RF surpassed the critical value signal, then Dui Ying record section then was considered as the non-blank-white section, therefore starts 108 couples of data-signal #DATA of demoder and handles.
Fig. 2 is used for electronic installation for prior art, optical disc drive for example, loop control circuit.This loop control circuit mainly comprises by variable gain amplifier (VGA) 202, analog-digital converter (ADC) 204, peak-to-valley value detecting device 206 and automatic gain controller (AGC) 208 automative interest increasing controlling circuits of being formed, and by variable gain amplifier 202, analog-digital converter 204, the skew control loop that offset controller 210 and totalizer 212 are formed.The data-signal #RF that variable gain amplifier 202 will receive amplifies, and then is sent to analog-digital converter 204.If the amplitude of data-signal #RF is not adjusted to suitable scope, the sampled data signal #RF that analog-digital converter 204 just can not be correct is to produce numerical data DATA.Therefore, automatic gain controller 208 is by producing a yield value #gain in order to regulating the amplitude of this data-signal #RF, decides and this yield value #gain is a testing result by peak-to-valley value detecting device 206.Peak value and valley #PB that automatic gain controller 208 is exported according to peak-to-valley value detecting device 206 change yield value #gain (A version renew) with a stepping step (step size).Whole gain control circuit carries out with pulling over, the amplitude that makes numerical data #DATA gradually force into desired value.Therefore the size of stepping step is directly proportional with the rate of convergence of gain control circuit.Same, offset controller 210 detects the skew situation of numerical data #DATA, and generation shifted signal #offset compensates it.Data-signal #RF deliver to variable gain amplifier 202 before, totalizer 212 can directly compensate this shifted signal #offset to data-signal #RF, and offset controller 210 also uses another stepping step to upgrade this shifted signal #offset gradually with pulling over.Whereby, whole circuit controls mechanism is returned the skew situation correction gradually of data-signal #RF.
Fig. 3 is the oscillogram of various situations.Show among the figure that its amplitude of data-signal #RF that obtains from front end may not be fit to subsequent treatment.For instance, at stage t1, data-signal #RF is less than desired value (positive goal value+target and negative desired value-target), and gain control circuit is adjusted this desired value of convergence with data-signal #RF gradually.At stage t2, the amplitude of data-signal #RF has surpassed desired value, makes its convergence desired value so gain control circuit can be adjusted amplitude with pulling over.Stage t3 and t4 then are the examples of migration.The described skew control loop of Fig. 2 is adjusted data-signal #RF gradually by feedback control, guarantees data-signal #RF correct desired value of its amplitude convergence when being sent to analog-digital converter 204.Yet the running in loop need be taken time, if the too little speed of convergence of stepping step is too low, the amplitude of data-signal #RF need spend the considerable time could the convergence desired value.Opposite, very fast if the stepping step makes speed of convergence transfer too greatly, but whole feedback mechanism also can show unstablely, and reduce the received signal quality of analog-digital converter 204.Therefore, how adjusting the stepping step, is a very important problem.
Please refer to Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is the diagrammatic cross-section of an optical storage medium.As shown in Figure 4, the zone from inner ring to outmost turns is respectively inner drive area (inner drive area), Lead-In Area (lead-in zone), data field (data zone), leading-out zone (lead-out zone) and external drive district (outer drive area).Inner drive area comprises different subareas such as original area (initial zone), inner disk built-in testing district (inner disc testzone), counting test working district (count zone run-in), inner disc count block (inner disc countzone), inner disc directorial area (inner disc administration zone) and data list area (table ofcontents zone).Inner disk built-in testing district be used to provide to optical disc drive with carry out disc test and best power control (Optimized Power Control, OPC).Optical disc drive is emitted to the video disc test section, inside of an optical storage medium and forms a plurality of different marks with the laser beam of different capacity.Then, by reading the resulting regenerated signal of these marks, then captured with reference information as the adjustment emissive power.Therefore, optical disc drive just may command emitted laser bundle have best emissive power.
And being asymmetry of wave according to the record data regenerated signal, best power produces.In the prior art, the asymmetry of wave of record data regenerated signal is to measure with simulated mode, thereby needs more arrangement space of cost and complicated design.
When the data burning density of read-only optical disc sheet (for example DVD-ROM) or CD-R sheet (for example DVD-RAM) is more and more higher, for example tilt or the servo error of track mistake (mis-track) will have a strong impact on the quality of signal.Especially in the CD-R sheet, the servo error that is taken place during burning will influence burning quality, and the servo error during data reproduction (reproduction) also will have a strong impact on the quality of signal.
In the DVD-RAM discs, the information burning is in the track that comprises burr rail (Land Track) and dimpled grain rail (Groove Track), and burr rail (Land Track) and dimpled grain rail (Groove Track) revolve in discs when turning around (360 °) and will replace each other.Burr rail (Land Track) and dimpled grain rail (GrooveTrack) are to be used for guiding orbit determination (tracking guide) to decrease in high density and the interorbital interference of narrow distance in opening stage beginning.
Each track regions is divided into a plurality of sections (sector) with same size.When making discs, can between each section, embed header region (Header).The physical address of section is recorded in the header region.Each section all comprises data area and record physical identification data (physical identification data, header region PID).
Fig. 5 A shows the physical form of the burr rail of DVD-RAM discs, and Fig. 5 B is shown in the waveform synoptic diagram of channel 1 signal (Read channel 1signal) that the burr rail read.At this, in each section that is arranged at each track that header region repeats.Four physical identification data (PID1 to PID4) that have same data structure in each header region.Physical identification data PID1 and PID2 are arranged at the center of de-orbiting both quantitatively and physical identification data PID3 and PID4 are to be arranged at the center of de-orbiting in contrast to the direction of physical identification data PID1 and PID2 that this was both quantitative, even therefore laser spots 500 has broken away from orbit centre, still can correctly read physical identification data (PID1 to PID4).
Read channel 1 signal shown in Fig. 5 B, wherein label ISHD1, ISHD2, ISHD3 and ISHD4 represent variable frequency oscillator signal (variable-frequency oscillator, the direct current valley of VFO) header area Header1, Header2, Header3 and Header4 (DC bottom) respectively.In like manner, physical identification data (PID1 to PID4) in the allocation position of dimpled grain rail with opposite in the burr rail, Fig. 6 A shows the physical form of the dimpled grain rail of DVD-RAM discs, and Fig. 6 B is shown in the waveform of channel 1 signal (Read channel 1signal) that the dimpled grain rail read.
The enlarged drawing of shown header region among Fig. 7 displayed map 5A and Fig. 5 B.In the structure of header region, physical identification data PID1, PID2 and physical identification data PID3 and PID4 are arranged at both quantitative position, the center of de-orbiting in the opposite direction.Each physical identification data comprises vfo signal and ID signal.Wherein, vfo signal has characteristic frequency and is used for synchronously and detects the ID signal.The physical address of ID cue field section.Vfo signal has the record format (T is the cycle of clock signal) of 4T.As shown in Figure 7, header region comprises VFO1 zone 701 and PID1702, VFO2 zone 703 and PID2704, VFO3 zone 705 and PID3706 and VFO4 zone 707 and PID4708.In Fig. 7, pass the header region of dimpled grain rail when laser spots 700, can obtain as shown in Figure 8 read channel 1 signal #RF.In Fig. 8, VFO1 signal 802 is corresponding to the VFO1 zone 701 of Fig. 7, and VFO3 signal 803 is corresponding to the VFO3 zone 705 of Fig. 7.
Fig. 9 shows that tradition is in order to the orbit centre error of detection DVD-RAM discs and the device of droop error.Peak detection circuit 901 detects and reads the peak value of channel 1 signal #RF and produce peak signal, and valley value detection circuit 902 detections are read the valley of channel 1 signal #RF and produced the valley signal.Sample-and-hold circuit 903A and 903B take a sample respectively in the peak value of regional VFO1 and VFO3 and valley signal, and (analog to digital converters is ADC) till 905A and the 905B sampling up to simulateding digital quantizer to preserve the signal of being taken a sample.Wherein, analog-digital converter 905A and 905B are the analog-digital converter of low sampling rate.Orbit centre error detector 907 calculates the orbit centre error according to peak value and the valley that analog-digital converter 905A and 905B are taken a sample.Droop error detecting device 909 calculates droop error according to the valley that analog-digital converter 905B is taken a sample.
Yet, because sample-and-hold circuit 903A and 903B are mimic channel, compared to digital circuit, need be than complex circuit design to reach high correctness.Moreover the sampling number of times of sample-and-hold circuit 903A and 903B is subject to its switching frequency.Therefore, use sample-and-hold circuit 903A that be more frequent at short notice and 903B detect and read channel 1 signal #RF is very difficult, thereby has reduced the detection correctness.If will more frequent detection read channel 1 signal #RF, must use more complicated sample-and-hold circuit.Yet this measure will cause increasing in order to the cost of the device of orbit centre error that detects the DVD-RAM discs and droop error and size.

Embodiment
Below will introduce according to preferred embodiment of the present invention.Mandatory declaration be, the invention provides many applicable inventive concepts, disclosed specific embodiment only is that explanation is reached and used ad hoc fashion of the present invention, and is unavailable to limit the scope of the invention.
Figure 10 is the embodiment of an optical disc drive.The framework of present embodiment is different from the past.Null detector 1020 uses from the data-signal #DATA of analog-digital converter output and detects space state, saves the circuit cost on null detector 110 data routings shown in Figure 1 whereby.Null detector 1020 realizes that in the mode of digital circuit cost more is lower than mimic channel.In Fig. 1, the data-signal #DATA of analog-digital converter output is sent to automatic beneficial control device 106, and automatic beneficial control device 106 produces a control signal #ctrl to the yield value of variable gain amplifier 102 with adjustment optical signalling #RF.The size of data-signal #DATA is approached a desired value gradually in the process of adjusting of pulling over whereby.Because in the size earthquake always of data-signal #DATA, null detector 1020 may misjudgment.In order to ensure correct judgment, the present invention proposes a kind of critical value signal generator 1010, in order to dynamic critical value signal #th to be provided, is proportional to control signal #ctrl.This critical value signal #th also is exaggerated when data-signal #DATA is exaggerated, and the function that makes null detector 1020 detect space state is not subjected to the influence of variable gain amplifier 102 gains.
If space state has continued a period of time, this automatic gain controller loop may be again gradually gain optical signalling #RF be amplified to and level off to this desired value, form we happy see disperse phenomenon.Therefore in null detector 1020, there is a function to solve this problem in addition.If the size of this data-signal #DATA does not surpass critical value signal #th, expression optical signalling #RF is in space state.At this moment null detector 1020 sends a halt signal #hold and gives automatic beneficial control device 106, orders it to suspend and upgrades control signal #ctrl.Thus, the gain of the optical signalling #RF under the space state is just remained unchanged.Blank at the same time the detection still continues carrying out.When finding that data-signal #DATA is non-space state, then automatic beneficial control device 106 restarts, and continues to upgrade control signal #ctrl, to recover the function in automatic gain controller loop.
Figure 11 A is an embodiment of critical value signal generator 1010 among Figure 10.Figure 11 B represents to gain and the graph of a relation of control signal #ctrl.Critical value signal #th is the same with the gain in the variable gain amplifier 102 basically, all is proportional to control signal #ctrl.In order to simplify the realization of this critical value signal generator 1010, can adopt digital circuit to produce this linear relationship in the mode of operate approximately.In Figure 11 B, the yield value that on behalf of variable gain amplifier 102, curve z produce according to control signal #ctrl.The curve of approximation that on behalf of critical value signal generator 1010, straight line y1 and y2 use is used for producing critical value signal #th.Critical value signal generator 1010 comprises a totalizer 1106, one controllers 1102 and a multiplier 1104.Straight line y1 and y2 can be expressed as
y n=a nx+b n
Wherein n is an integer, a nBe slope, and b nIt is off-set value.
In Figure 11 A, controller 1102 produces a slope value #slope and an off-set value #offset according to the size of control signal #ctrl.Then multiplier 1104 multiply by slope value #slope with control signal #ctrl, and multiplied result is delivered to totalizer 1106, with this off-set value #offset addition, to produce critical value signal #th.The size of control signal #ctrl can be divided into a plurality of scopes, corresponding a different set of slope value of each scope and off-set value.For instance, n equals 2 in Figure 11 B, so use two straight lines to come curve of approximation z.When the size of this control signal #ctrl is first scope, then this controller 1102 produces slope value a1 and off-set value b1.When the size of this control signal #ctrl is second scope, then this controller 1102 produces slope value a2 and off-set value b2.The value of n is not defined as 2, can obtain accurate more approximation and numeral is big more.In addition, critical value signal generator 1010 also can comprise a digital question blank, comprises different control signal #ctrl in the question blank, with and corresponding different critical value signal #th.Curve z normally just can determine in the calibration procedure of prior art, so the setting of critical value signal generator 1010 also can be set in calibration in the lump.
Figure 12 is an embodiment of Figure 10 empty detecting device 1020.This null detector 1020 comprises three digital elements, Hi-pass filter 1202, retarding element (hysteresis) 1204 sum counters 1206.Low frequency composition among this Hi-pass filter 1202 filtering data signal #DATA stays the part of high frequency.This retarding element 1204 couples Hi-pass filter 1202, and this data-signal #DATA is quantified as a kind of form of square-wave signal, has only 0 and 1 two states, respectively has the different work period (duration).The work period of this counter 1206 these square-wave signals of statistics to be producing a count value, and utilizes this count value to judge whether the space state of optical signalling #RF is set up.
Critical value signal #th can input in the retarding element 1204, in order to adjust the sensitivity that produces square-wave signal.The low logic level signal of output when the data-signal #DATA of Hi-pass filter 1202 output amplitude size degree in amplitude size subcritical value signal #th correspondence, when the data-signal #DATA of Hi-pass filter 1202 outputs exports high logic level signal when the amplitude size is higher than the amplitude size degree of critical value signal #th correspondence, to form this square-wave signal.And counter 1206 if detect when hanging down the logic level square-wave signal, promptly is judged as space state when the work period of counting square-wave signal.When counter 1206 detects high logic level square-wave signal, promptly be judged as the non-blank-white state, and send enable signal #en demoder 108 is started, make demoder 108 begin data-signal #DATA is carried out decoding processing.
In another embodiment, critical value signal #th also can input in the counter 1206, in order to change the criterion whether space state is set up.For instance, if when detecting the count value of low logic level square-wave signal and surpassing a predetermined count value corresponding to critical value signal #th, promptly be judged as space state.When counter 1206 detects high logic level square-wave signal, promptly be judged as the non-blank-white state, and send enable signal #en demoder 108 is started, make demoder 108 begin data-signal #DATA is carried out decoding processing.
The wave form varies synoptic diagram of Figure 13 during for practical application of the present invention.In the t1 stage, the size of data-signal #DATA does not surpass critical value signal #th, be space state so optical signalling #RF is returned, and automatic beneficial control device 106 is subjected to the control of halt signal #hold and suspends renewal, the value that critical value signal #th is remained unchanged.In the t2 stage, data-signal #DATA surpasses critical value signal #th, thus the automatic gain controller loop resume operation, gradually data-signal #DATA is amplified and level off to desired value (+-target).Simultaneously, critical value signal #th also becomes big along with the gain of data-signal #DATA and amplifies.In stage, the size of data-signal #DATA is replied less than critical value signal #th, promptly enters another section space state at t3.Critical value signal #th that it should be noted that this moment is also higher than the critical value signal #th of t1 during the stage.If critical value signal #th fails dynamically to adjust, then the data-signal #DATA in the t3 stage critical value signal #th mistake that may be fixed is judged as the non-blank-white state.Since be judged as space state in the t3 stage, then the automatic gain controller loop enters halted state again, makes that critical value signal #th is the same with the gain of variable gain amplifier 102 all to maintain constant value.Represent in stage that at t4 the situation of desired value has appearred surpassing in data-signal #DATA, thus the running of pulling in the automatic gain controller loop make its level off to desired value (+-target).And at the same time, the value of critical value signal #th is also along with gain descends.Above-mentioned example has illustrated that the present invention dynamically adjusts critical value signal #th and avoids wrong judged result.
Figure 14 is for detecting the process flow diagram of space state.In step 1402, variable gain amplifier 102 amplifies optical signalling #RF according to control signal #ctrl.In step 1404, this analog-digital converter takes a sample optical signalling #RF to obtain a data-signal #DATA.In step 1406, this automatic beneficial control device 106 upgrades control signal #ctrl according to the size of data-signal #DATA.In step 1408, critical value signal generator 1010 provides a critical value signal #th according to control signal #ctrl.In step 1410, null detector 1020 is according to the space state of critical value signal #th data detection signal #DATA.In step 1412,, then start 108 pairs of these data-signals of demoder #DATA and decode if data-signal #DATA is not a space state.In step 1414, if this data-signal #DATA is a space state, then null detector 1020 is closed demoder 108, and the running that suspends automatic beneficial control device 106 is failure to actuate the automatic gain controller loop.
Figure 15 is one a loop control circuit of the embodiment of the invention.Its this control loop can be applicable in the optical disc drive, and in order to an optical signalling that obtains from a discs is carried out circuit controls, this optical signalling is loaded with corresponding data, but the present invention is not as limit.Variable gain amplifier 202, analog-digital converter 204, peak-to-valley value detecting device 206 and automatic gain controller 208 have formed a signal controlling loop, the gain of control figure data #DATA.Mode controller 1500 is judged the relative status of critical value and amplitude, so as to being adjusted at employed stepping step in automatic gain controller 208 and the offset controller 210.Variable gain amplifier 202 is according to yield value #gain amplified data signal #RF, and the data-signal #RF after the analog-digital converter 204 sampling amplifications is to produce numerical data #DATA.Subsequently, the size of peak value and valley #PB among the peak-to-valley value detecting device 206 detection numerical data #DATA.Mode controller 1500 judges whether this peak value surpasses just high critical value+Hth.Just high critical value+Hth can be a value more than or equal to positive goal value+target.Same, negative high critical value-Hth is a value smaller or equal to negative desired value-target.If data-signal #RF is excessively amplified by variable gain amplifier 202, make peak value surpass just high critical value+Hth and valley is lower than negative high critical value-Hth, then mode controller 1500 sends one first control signal #ctrl1 notice automatic gain controller 208 increases the stepping step, yield value #gain then upgrades according to peak value and valley #PB and adjusted this stepping step, and the speed of convergence of gain control circuit is accelerated.
In this loop control circuit, variable gain amplifier 202, analog-digital converter 204, offset controller 210 and totalizer 212 have been formed another signal controlling loop, in order to carry out migration.One of them has surpassed desired value (positive goal value+target or negative desired value-target), then the skew shown in stage t3 and t4 among Fig. 3 has taken place in expression if having only peak value or valley.Same, mode controller 1500 judges by just high critical value+Hth and negative high critical value-Hth whether skew takes place.If detect skew, just sending one second control signal #ctrl2 notice offset controller 210 increases the stepping step, and the speed of convergence of skew control loop is accelerated.Then, calculate shifted signal #offset according to numerical data #DATA and adjusted stepping step.Totalizer 212 is coupled between offset controller 210 and the variable gain amplifier 202, is responsible for earlier shifted signal #offset being compensated just delivering to variable gain amplifier 202 to the data-signal #RF and amplifying.
Figure 16 is the embodiment of mode controller 1500 among Figure 15.In this mode controller 1500, comprised one first comparer 1610 and one second comparer 1620, distinctly peak value valley #PB and just high critical value+Hth, negative high critical value-Hth have been compared.If peak value surpasses just high critical value+Hth, first comparer, 1610 outputs, one true value, otherwise export a falsity.The first pattern determining device 1640 couples the output terminal of first comparer 1610 and second comparer 1620.Same, if valley is lower than negative high critical value-Hth, second comparer, 1620 output true value, anti-then output falsity.When data-signal #RF was excessively amplified, first comparer 1610 and second comparer 1620 all can be exported true value, and the first pattern determining device 1640 exports the first control signal #ctrl1 to automatic gain controller 208.Concrete this first pattern determining device 1640 of going up can be one and door (AND), and the first control signal #ctrl1 can be position 0 and 1, represents the operating mode of automatic gain controller 208 changeable in a quick mode and a normal mode.If the value of the first control signal #ctrl1 is 1, the expression quick mode, then automatic gain controller 208 is made as a bigger value with the stepping step.Relative, when the first control signal #ctrl1 is 0, the expression normal mode, the value of stepping step is made as a less value.In addition, the second pattern determining device 1630 also is coupled to the output terminal of first comparer 1610 and second comparer 1620.When skew took place, one of them can export true value to have only first comparer 1610 or second comparer 1620, and at this moment the second pattern determining device 1630 sends one second control signal #ctrl2 and gives offset controller 210.In the present embodiment, the second pattern determining device 1630 is XOR gate (XOR).But with or door (OR) realize also being fine.
On the other hand, when the amplitude of numerical data #DATA is too small, also can trigger aero mode.For instance, first comparer 1610 still can and be lower than one of desired value with this peak value and just hang down critical value+Lth relatively, and second comparer 1620 also compares valley with a negative low critical value that is higher than negative desired value-Lth.If peak value is lower than just low critical value+Lth, first comparer, 1610 outputs, one true value, otherwise export a falsity.If valley is also higher than negative low critical value-Lth, then second comparer 1620 is exported true value.Too small when numerical data #DATA amplitude, when causing first comparer 1610 and second comparer 1620 to export true value simultaneously, the first pattern determining device 1640 just send the first control signal #ctrl1 with 1 value to automatic gain controller 208 to start aero mode.Just low critical value+Lth and negative low critical value-Lth also can be used in the judgement of skew.
The oscillogram of Figure 17 for producing under the embodiment of the invention.Stage t1 shows that one is lower than the numerical data #DATA of desired value, is amplified to desired value with two stages.When peak value was lower than just low critical value+Lth, automatic gain controller 208 operated on aero mode, so the slope of envelope is steeper.The variation principle and the peak value of valley are identical, because of having symmetry.Along with the amplitude of numerical data #DATA increases, when peak value surpassed just low critical value+Lth, then gain control circuit was got back to normal mode, so demonstrate milder slope.The adjustment of stepping step can make gain control circuit restrain fast when amplitude and desired value have a long way to go, and keeps during near desired value stable at amplitude.
Stage t2 shows that one is higher than the numerical data #DATA of desired value, and the step of convergence desired value is divided into two stages.At first, when the peak value among the numerical data #DATA surpassed just high critical value+Hth, automatic gain controller 208 operated on aero mode, and its slope is steeper as seen from the figure.Along with the convergence of pulling over of gain control circuit, the amplitude of numerical data #DATA is brought down below just high critical value+Hth, so gain control circuit is got back to normal mode, with milder slope to the desired value convergence.Can be same value (negative high critical value-Hth and negative desired value-target are too) with positive goal value+target on this just high critical value+Hth is concrete, the numerical data #DATA that excessively amplifies only can restrain with aero mode thus.
The situation of stage t3 display offset.Valley is lower than negative desired value-target, but peak value is no more than positive goal value+target.The offset controller 210 of Figure 15 adds data-signal #RF to compensate these skews with shifted signal #offset value.As seen from the figure, when valley was lower than negative high critical value-Hth, offset controller 210 was subjected to the triggering of the second control signal #ctrl2 to operate on aero mode, and the slope of envelope is steeper.The situation of skew may or be amplified the not enough compound generation of situation with excessive amplification, so automatic gain controller 208 and offset controller 210 may alternately operate to reach desired value.
Stage t4 is the example of another kind of skew.But peak value surpasses positive goal value+target valley is no more than negative desired value-target.Before peak value was reduced to below just high critical value+Hth, numerical data #DATA compensated with aero mode.Get back to normal mode at time point P at last.Automatic gain controller 208 meets the condition of startup subsequently, begins to carry out gain control, with numerical data #DATA convergence to desired value.
Figure 18 is the process flow diagram of circuit controls method of the present invention.In step 1802, automatic gain controller 208 judges whether to carry out gain control.If desired, carry out step 1804, detection peak and valley decide operating mode.If peak value is higher than just high critical value+Hth, and valley is lower than negative high critical value-Hth, then carries out aero mode in step 1806, and automatic gain controller 208 uses higher stepping step to upgrade yield value #gain.Otherwise, in step 1808, carry out normal mode.Be equally in step 1806,, also can start aero mode if peak value is lower than just low critical value+Lth and valley is higher than negative low critical value-Lth.In step 1810, offset controller 210 judges whether to carry out migration.If, then carry out step 1812, the decision operating mode is why.If one of them has surpassed the negative high critical value-Hth of just high critical value+Hth/ peak value or valley, then in step 1818, carry out aero mode.Otherwise in step 1814, carry out normal mode.When finish in steps, program is returned step 1802.
